It's All Yer Going To Get - Audio, Video, Lyrics

Here's a rollicking sea song with a bit of an ear worm, reminiscent of old-time drinking songs of the age of sail. You may find yourself feeling a strong urge to pound a tankard on the table top as you belt out the chorus. So be it. Just don't indulge that fancy when small boys are present, if you know what's good for you - and your sanity.

This is the first new music I've released since abandoning ship from Saint Petersburg, Russia in April of 2022. It's been a long and difficult voyage fraught with many challenges. Many people in many countries have lent helping hands along the way. When it comes to salvaging my musical ship, I want to acknowledge and thank a number of people of have made this milestone possible:

The donors to my GoFundMe campaign who so generously provided the wherewithal enabling me to get a basic home studio up and running. It's still ongoing, so feel free to join that hearty crew.
My brother David and his business Music Together Summit. Unused gear that was taking up space in his studio provided a boost for mine.
Gary Gray , engineer, producer, studio musician extraordinaire, and author of the Home Studio Bible for his generous teaching, personal mentoring, and general encouragement.
The members of the Mastermind class at Transcend Entertainment And Music (TEAM) (taught by the aforementioned Gary Gray) - incredibly talented indie musicians, songwriters, composers and music producers who have been a huge source of inspiration and encouragement.

Lyrics

Ye may think the swill yer served
Was fresher long ago
And that yer grog ration
It is miserably low
Revile the cook and the Captain
But boys, 'tis a sure bet
That the swill and grog ye've got
Is all yer going to get!

CHORUS:
It's all we're going to get, boys
It's all we're going to get
Tho' we may curse and we may fret
We're floppin' in the owner's net
And surely as the sea is wet
It's all we're going to get!

Ye may condemn yer bunk below
As full of lumps and fleas
But the life of sailor lads
Is never one of ease
So dream of fluff and feathers
But never do forget
That the bunk below ye've got
Is all yer going to get!

CHORUS

Well ye may hate the weather out
Because ‘tis always foul
And ye may despise they way
These livin' gales do howl
Ye may bemoan they way the waves
Yer innards do upset
But here's the news: this weather, boys
Is all yer going to get!

CHORUS

And when ye thinks about yer pay
Ye may commence to wail
That ye'll ne're afford to even
Drink yer fill of ale
It's meager and it's miserly
And signing you regret
But rest assured, me boyo
It's all yer going to get!

Now you may believe that lass ye met
When last ye went ashore
Innocent as a babe newborn
But she be something more
She lives by rollin' sailors, son!
And in her ways she's set
I tell ye, boy, that whore ashore
Is all yer going to get!

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Oh we be hardy mariners
Who sails the seven seas
We’ve sailed around the killer cape
And thru the Carribbees
We wouldn’t want no other life
We have no real regret
Tho’ we know that all we haven’t got
Is all we’re going to get!

So, if ye thinks the sailor life
Could be a great deal better
That's like thinkin' that the sea
Could be a lot less wetter
I tell ye, Matey, nothing like that
Has ever happened yet
And it's a fact, this sailor life
Is all yer going to get

CHORUS

Hi! Ho! Away we go!
It's all we're going to get!
