Original Shanty by Tamm
Honk for me, Honk my bois
Honk so loud and free
Sailing by just honking at me
Honk for me my bois
Honk my bois, Honk honk honk
Honking wild and free
Honk for everyone at sea
Honk together with glee
[Verse 1]
Our Goose drove down a quiet road
where no one else could see
A flock of geese came marching past
and honked their melody
They honked at him, he honked right back
and something clicked inside
He joined the chorus of HONK!
and now he’s sailing free
[Chorus]
Honk for me, Honk my bois
Honk so loud and free
Sailing by just honking at me
Honk for me my bois
Honk my bois, Honk honk honk
Honking wild and free
Honk for everyone at sea
Honk together with glee
[Verse 2]
I was looking for my people
when I first heard my Goose
He honked at all the sailors
who were different, proud, and true
The others said that’s weird mate
but I knew just what to do
I learned that honking loudly
means you’ll find your chosen crew
[Chorus]
Honk for me, Honk my bois
Honk so loud and free
Sailing by just honking at me
Honk for me my bois
Honk my bois, Honk honk honk
Honking wild and free
Honk for everyone at sea
Honk together with glee
[Verse 3]
I was sitting in the office
when I first saw my Goose
He honked at every meeting
and he honked at every bug
The other sailors warned me lass
that honking’s quite obtuse
And I knew that honking moment
I’d found my favourite Goose
[Bridge – Slower/quieter]
But workday done and code at rest
the night calls out so well
I don my sailing vest and crew
IT’S TIME TO RAISE SOME HELL
[Chorus]
Honk for me, Honk my bois
Honk so loud and free
Sailing by just honking at me
Honk for me my bois
Honk my bois, Honk honk honk
Honking wild and free
Honk for everyone at sea
Honk together with glee
[Verse 4]
So we sail down to the club at night
where sailors gather round
We honk into the darkness
til our crewmates hear the sound
We climb aboard together
and we put on quite a show
And honk til morning light
and blow the whole damn crew
[Chorus]
Honk for me, Honk my bois
Honk so loud and free
Sailing by just honking at me
Honk for me my bois
Honk my bois, Honk honk honk
Honking wild and free
Honk for everyone at sea
Honk together with glee
[Chorus again]
Honk for me, Honk my bois
Honk so loud and free
Sailing by just honking at me
Honk for me my bois
Honk my bois, Honk honk honk
Honking wild and free
Honk for everyone at sea
Honk together with glee
