Lyrics

[Verse 1 - Steady accordion squeeze, gravelly baritone lead vocal, stomping boots on wooden deck]

Heave ho, me hearties, gather 'round the mast so tall,
Sailors whisper of the devil what lurks in the ocean's call.
Davy Jones with his locker deep, where the drowned souls dwell,
Tentacles reachin' from the deep, draggin' ships straight to hell.

[Chorus - Rowdy full crew chant, booming bass drum, clashing accordions and fiddles]

Yo ho ho and a bottle o' rum,
Davy Jones calls yer name in the storm!
Feelin' his grip on yer tremblin' bones,
Down to the locker, no mercy shown!
Heave ho, ye scurvy dogs, sing it loud and true,
Davy Jones is comin' for me and you!

[Verse 2 - Building rhythm with handclaps and foot stomps, harmonies swelling from the crew]

Black beard trembled when the whirlpool spun,
Pearl sank low 'neath the thunder's drum.
Green-eyed beast with a heart o' stone,
Steals yer soul when yer ship is thrown.
No rum can save ye, no prayer takes flight,
One last breath in the dead o' night.

[Chorus - Explosive crew roar, thunderous drums and crashing waves SFX, layered group shouts]

Yo ho ho and a bottle o' rum,
Davy Jones calls yer name in the storm!
Feelin' his grip on yer tremblin' bones,
Down to the locker, no mercy shown!
Heave ho, ye scurvy dogs, sing it loud and true,
Davy Jones is comin' for me and you!

[Bridge - Slowed tempo, lone fiddle wail, haunted solo vocal with echoing reverb]

One night I dreamed o' his cold embrace,
Whispers from the depths, starin' in me face.
"Join me crew," he growled with a ghastly grin,
Eternal sail on the waves o' sin...

[Final Chorus / Outro - Massive group bellow fading to wind howls, accordion dying out, final boot stomps]

Yo ho ho and a bottle o' rum,
Davy Jones calls yer name in the storm!
(Heave ho!) Feelin' his grip on yer tremblin' bones,
Down to the locker... no mercy shown!
Yo ho ho... (fading echoes) Davy Jones... comin' for you...
