My Jolly Sailor Bold - Ashley Serena (youtu.be)

YouTube video by Ashley Serena

#SumLuv There's A LOT of songs in this book. Quill and Tack, it's "Jolly Sailor Bold." It's stuck in Tack's head, and in his head (at one point) the lyrics... change. In a way he's never heard. "There is nothing can console me but this Jolly Sailor Cold."

I'm sure that's not the sign of something horrible at all.

NEVER! We never use songs for horrible things. It's not like you gave an apocalypse a musical score. 😅

For the less terrifying ones. The Damsels (as a whole) is this one. They like to change the lyrics to piss off Tack. The "A Drop of Morgan's Cum" flusters the shit out of him.

The other song stuck in Tack's head, especially when he thinks about what he may have to do if he the Dweller comes back for him. He'll leave the room if the Damsels sing this song, so no one will see him cry.

Francesca (Tack's annoying rival who's after Uno), and her crew of gay male pirates often sing this one. Typically taunting her unwilling celibacy by changing the lyrics: "The Bo'sun likes dick, and the First Mate likes cunt Row me bully boys row The Captain likes both but she can't get her none!"
