Yo ho, yo ho, a Cellar 'og's life for me!
I work in the cellars so dark, deep, and cool
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
I knows wot goes best with a gooseberry fool
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho, a Cellar 'og's life for me!
Bright cordials an' fizzes an' dark 'Tober Ale,
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
One sip o' this wine keeps ye hearty an' hale
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho, a Cellar 'og's life for me!
That's sweet burdock cordial far down by your left
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
Leave that barrel there, aye 'tis heavy to heft
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho, a Cellar 'og's life for me!
'Tis strawberry cordial the Dibbuns like best
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
'S my favorite too, if ye haven't yet guessed!
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho, a Cellar 'og's life for me!
The elders are fonder of fresh-brewed mint tea
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
Though dannyli'n fizz is another fer me
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho, a Cellar 'og's life for me!
'Mid barrels and tuns and small kegs here I work,
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
There ain't no duty here I'd ever shirk,
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho, a Cellar 'og's life for me!
So if ye've a feast and dry whistles to wet,
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
I knows what to sup with your spread, you can bet!
Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho, a Cellar 'og's life for me!
No, there's no particular reason I decided to write about drinks except that I didn't feel like writing about keeping the Infirmary. Maybe next time, or perhaps "The Ballad of Blaggut, Boat Builder and Blundering Ex-Bosun".
In other news, the sea urchins are almost finished as lab material for Fiona to write about. Bring on the frogs! *cue Mission Impossible music* If you should ever want to know anything about sea urchin development, I will be setting up a pay-per-minute question-and-answer sea urchin hotline and thereby profit immensely from these past weeks of obsession with the spiny little buggers. Well, actually they're not spiny until they metamorphose... *wanders off in search of convenient brick wall to bang head against*
