All About the Bilge (spoiler/alert – earworm!)

Sometimes I percolate plans or loquacious blog posts while doing stuff like bailing the bilge… sometimes I rewrite earworms and sing them to Mr Myrtle!

And, so you can get it stuck in your head too, here’s a Jamaican DJ’s version for the tune, and the boatified lyrics!

All About The Bilge

Because you know

I gotta bail that bilge

Bail that bilge, ‘nuff water

I just gotta bail the bilge

Bail the bilge, ‘nuff water

I just gotta bail the bilge

Bail the bilge, ‘nuff water

I just gotta bail the bilge

Bail the bilge

Yeah, it’s pretty clear, I ain’t no forty footer

But I can bail it, bail it

Like I’m supposed to do

‘Cause I got that boom up on the top deck, I can’t open up the hatch for air

And I got all the little leaks in all the wrong places

I see the chandelries advertising’ auto bilge pumps

We know that shit ain’t real

C’mon now, make it dry

If you got bucket or a baster, beauty, just raise ’em now

‘Cause every inch of bilge is soggy

From the stern end to the bow

Yeah, my boat gurus they told me gotta worry about your bilge

They says, “Boats like a little water but they gotta keep it outside.”

You know I won’t be no power cruiser high tech electric everything

So if that’s what you’re into then go ahead and move along

Because you know I

Gotta bail my bilge

Bail the bilge, ‘nuff water

I just gotta bail the bilge

Bail the bilge, ‘nuff water

I just gotta bail the bilge

Bail the bilge, ‘nuff water

I just gotta bail the bilge

Bail the bilge

Hey!

I’m bringing bailing back

Go ahead and tell them chandlers why

No, I’m just playing. I know you think your boat’s dry

But I’m here to tell ya

Every inch of bilge is soggy from the stern end to the bow

Yeah my boat gurus they told me gotta worry about your bilge

They said , “Boats like to be kept dry inside and keep the water outside.”

You know I won’t be no power cruiser electronic everything

So if that’s what you’re into then go ahead and move along

Because you know I

Just gotta bail the bilge

Bail the bilge, ‘nuff water

I just gotta bail the bilge

Bail the bilge, ‘nuff water

I just gotta bail the bilge

Bail the bilge, bail the bilge
