The Siren Sea Shanty
Created By: Anonymous Pirate Crew.
Beat: Dun dun dun dun du-duna-dun dun dun dun da duda-dun (repeatedly same beat)
*Crew starts singing this when they are doing preparation to set off to sea.*
(Intro)
First Mate: Yo Ho Ho!
(Verse One: Sang by First Mate)
There once was a queen named Severina but she wasn’t a normal queen.
She became bitter when the mermaids started to take her home away.
In response she gave a cry and proceeded to destroy pirates lives.
Her song was sweet to confess but it was really a huge protest. The other sirens came and sang only to support her reign.
But once the Humans and Wizards found out there were no more songs around.
(Chorus: Sang by Crew)

(Bridge: Sang by Crew and First Mate simultaneously)
Severina was a killer queen and spilt blood in the sea.
She says she was merciful but drowning doesn’t seem “cynical.”
Severina was a tyrant queen and we despise her and her theme.
This chant opens Pirates eyes and hopefully even save their lives.
The moral is be careful Sirens don’t like mortals.
(Solo Sang by Captain)
We don’t like Sirens, and we don’t accept them.
Life’s better with them imprisoned.
Why do you think she was beheaded?
Severina was a Siren Queen-
(First mate interrupts with Second Solo)
But now that is ancient history!
(Verse Two: Sang by Crew)
Severina a diabolical ass.
Now it’s time to cast our mast.
Her reign had fallen.
Now there’s no more Sirens calling.
(Outro) AYE? (Captain says this to get the crew’s attention) AYE! AYE! (Other pirates respond) *Cheers of beers, hook hands, and such pirate gestures to celebrate the imprisonment of Sirens*
