#16 — "We Want to Fish for Men" (1:56)
Here's the hands-down winner in the Gospel New Wave Pirate Chanty category. If I were a pirate? And totally gay? This would totally be my anthem for the next Folsom Street Fair
What it's actually about is predatory proselytization. If you're not a xtian, you're the fish. Get it?
N O T I C E T O S I N G E R :
If you're wanting to fish, you're gonna be needing a hook.
N O T I C E T O L I S T E N E R :
This song has no hook.
We are the fishermen
We want, we want
We want to fish for men
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
(Fish! Fish! Fish! Fish!)
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
(Fish! Fish! Fish!)
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
(&c.)
We are, we are, the fishermen
We want, we want, we want to fish for men
Oh how dark the ocean is
Gnashing, gnashing, gnashing, gnashing
All the weeping going on
Mothers, brothers, friends, and foes
We love them yet we let them go
We are the fishermen
We want, we want, we want to fish for men
Lifeguards we are called to be
Drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning
Oh, so many going down
Come on board and join the cruise
Jesus wants YOU
We are, we are
We are the fishermen
We want, want
We want to fish for men
