Dave Malloy
Knights & Squires II
[STUBB]
Fa la la la la lirra, skirra
[ALL]
Mr. Stubb- Second Mate
Caucasian Cape Cod man
Singing Rigadig tunes any time he can
[STUBB]
Oh a laugh seems the answer to anything that's queer
It's easy and wise that much is clear
I've a juicy little pear at home
I tickle her when she's blue
With humor and indifference
I'll tickle my whaleboat too
[ALL]
He tickles his whaleboat too
[STUBB]
But when I say pull, by God
You better pull
[FLASK]
And I'm Flask, Flask, mediocre flask
I don't know much, and I'm not gonna ask
[ALL]
Ready third mate, Tisbury son
Despises whales and kills them for fun
[FLASK]
I don't marvel at whales
I don't gush about whales
I hunt whales
I kill whales
I destroy whales
[ALL]
And these three noble white men
Stand upon the backs
Of three noble not-white men
Noble savages
Queequeg, Tashtego, Daggoo
[DAGGOO]
Daggoo
A giant six foot five harpooner from Africa
I've got a lion like walk and a giraffe like stance
[TASHTEGO]
Tashtego
An unmixed Wampanoag hunter from Martha's Vineyard
I used to hunt for moose, but now I hunt for whale
[QUEEQUEG]
Queequeg
A native of Rokovoko
An island far far away
It is not down in any map- it's actually a made up island
I'd tell you more but I'm gonna have my own song in just a minute
[PIP]
And Pip, Pip, Alabama boy
Barely 9 years old
On the grim Pequod's forecastle
You shall ere long see me
Playing my tambourine
Before I go to that great quarter deck on high
[ALL]
Before he goes to that great quarter deck on high
