Alright ladies and gentlemen, [Bb] we would like to do something a little different now.
We are now going to do a song that's a little more
somber.
Bring it down.
No, no, bring it back up.
There we go.
[C] Alright, and now a serious song.
[Gm]
[Dm]
[Bb]
[A]
[A] Five seamen moored in one lifeboat,
[Bb] desperation [A] setting in.
[Gm] Glad they escaped [D] their sinking ship,
but now know they can't win.
Clearly [F] sacrifice would be the [G] only chance [Cm] they've got.
[A] The only [Gm] question now is, who's going [Dm] in the pot?
Now I know this [A] isn't easy,
[Gm] and no one wants to [A] start.
[Gm] And I don't mean [Dm] to be the callous one
[A] that seems to have no heart.
First time for everything.
[Dm] The answer [F] here is obvious.
[G] It's man we [A] should eat [Dm] next.
He's well over [Gm] six feet tall,
and that's a [A] lot of meat.
Yeah, we could have a [Dm] luau.
[A] Well you know that I've been brining,
[Bb] ever since [A] I've been alive.
[Gm] So if any of you tried [Dm] to feast on me,
[A] not one of you'd survive.
Can you [Em] imagine the trip though?
[C] And if you [Gm] go chasing [A] rabbits,
what is [F] someone who [G] has kept himself [A] quite lean?
Is this me?
[G] [D] Here, he [Gm] would be good for us.
His [A] meat is very lean.
No, no, no, no.
Hold that thought.
Our situation desperate,
[A] we knew we were at our [Dm] end.
And we hope no other crew [A] must make this choice again.
[Gm] We held out for oh so [Fm] long,
[Dm] but now it's time [A] to choose
[Bb] which of us would survive
and [Em] who was doomed [A] to lose.
Now let's not be too [A] hasty here.
[Bb] I'll explain if [A] I can.
Better [Gm] be good.
That marbling is [Dm] where the flavor is.
[A] So I'd be dry and bland.
[G] Makes sense.
As he was in life, he would be on the plate.
[Eb] [D] But eat here.
[F] He'd be juicy,
[G] full of flavor [A] as we know.
And [Dm] besides, he was raised [Gm] free range.
And completely non-gmo.
[D] That's correct.
And I was breastfed until I was 14 years [E] old.
And I was raised by a school of shrimp.
[Bb]
A luau?
Yeah, a luau.
I got a pineapple.
Aha.
While [Dm] it's dry, maybe [A] juicy.
Juicy.
This is really low.
Who'd we write this for, Barry White?
[E] Me.
We [Db] wrote it for him.
Generally.
[E] [Am] But I'm [Bb] afraid it can't be [A] me.
[Gm] We're not.
For without me, you'd have [Dm] no chance
of being [A] rescued from the sea.
He's awfully full of himself.
Just trying to keep you from being full of me.
[Dm] We need [F] someone useless.
[G] So it's clear [A] it should be Kale.
[Am] Good choice.
[A] He's sweet, he's tender, he's [Gm] self-based.
Well, [Bb] okay.
Anyone else [A] would be insane.
I've seen him self-based.
It's not pretty.
Our situation desperate.
We knew we were at our [D] end.
And we hope no other crew [A] must make this choice again.
[Gm] We held out for oh so [A] long.
But now it's time to choose.
[Bb] Which of us would survive?
[G] And who was [Bb] doomed to [A] lose?
Though it's true, I am [A] delicious.
No one said that.
[Bb] I'm afraid I [A] can't agree.
You don't get a vote.
[Gm] I just can't break [A] the hearts
of so many friends and family.
People love me.
[D] No, I'm [F] afraid it can't be me.
[G] I can't make so [A] many love.
[Bm] What [Dm] we need here is [Gm] Darren.
[Bb] No one cares [Em] if he lives or [A] dies.
No, no, no, it's true.
We took a poll.
No, I've done the [F] maths.
The numbers check [Bb] out.
So you've got a pineapple?
[Eb] Yeah, I've got a pineapple.
So why are we eating the pineapple?
Because I'm saving it for [Cm] the loo.
Now [A] it's true that I've been told
I have [Bb] a taste that can't be [A] beaten.
[A] [Gm] But remember, when [Dm] you eat me,
you'll eat [A] everyone I've [A] eaten.
I don't [F] think I'm the one you want.
I'll taste of [A] everywhere I've been.
Including that guy on the third row over there.
No, we should [Gm] start this over.
Hey!
What are your dumb [Dm] excuses again?
It's just that I'm the chicken breast of the Jolly [A] Rogers.
We got our situation desperate.
We knew we were at our end.
And we hope no other crew must make this choice again.
[Gm] We held out for oh so long.
[A] But now it's time to choose.
[Bb] Which of us would survive?
And who was doomed to lose?
They kept the argument going
as different points were [A] raised.
[Gm] And they argued [Am] if it would be best
if their [Ab] mates were stood or [A] braced.
They argued [F] so intently
[Bb] they didn't [G] notice they [A] reached land.
[E] But hey!
[A] Two full [Gm] hours lost at sea [A] can do strange things to a man.
Yes!
Two full [Gm] hours lost at sea can do strange things to a man.
Hey!
So where do you keep the pineapple?
I like to call it Davy [F] Jones' locker.
Oh, [Ab] Kane has a chewy [D] pineapple scent.
I love pineapple.
[Bb] Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.
We are having a great time.
We hope you are [C] too.
Take care of your weight staff.
We're going to take a real quick break.
[Db] We'll be right back.
