Nordic Discord Challenge - Throwback Thursdays
Genre: Pirate Rock
Theme: IKEA
Lyrics:
we docked our ship by the yellow blue shore
cannons still smokin’, boots on the floor
the captain cried, plunder, riches, meatballs
then björn the red got trapped by wall decals
a siren sang softly from bedroom display nine
come test this mattress, ye salty swine
old pegleg steve wept tears of delight
bought twelve tiny candles with a cinnamon scent called night
oh the aisles never end
ye can’t escape the maze
we came for a table
and lost three crew for days
yo-ho aisle maze curse
the sirens made it worse
now the brig is full of throw pillows
and a fake plant in a ceramic purse
yo-ho what have we done
we own six rattan suns
we are pirates of the baltic sea
why do we have matching bathroom jars
the sirens wore nametags and ergonomic smiles
they lured us deeper through endless aisles
need ye a shelving unit, perhaps a shoehorn
aisle witches, we sleep in hammocks and wake up reborn
mad olaf purchased a child sized stool
said, aye, this stool be cool
the first mate bought seventeen tiny forks
no idea why he said, but look how they stack, lads
captain, the ship sits too low in the water
why
the cargo hold is full of scandinavian storage solutions
dear god
yo-ho sing it loud
we’re the dumbest scoundrels ‘round
the sirens got us buying woven baskets
while the crew forgot how raids work somehow
yo-ho sound the horn
the shame cannot be borne
we got attacked by the royal navy
while assembling a dresser at dawn
allen wrench, allen wrench
where’s the bloody allen wrench
the instructions show a little man
who mocks us with his tiny hands
we built a chair with extra screws
now nobody knows what parts we used
the parrot ate the warranty
and lars won’t stop buying novelty reeds
yo-ho the sirens call
buy this miniature wall
now every pirate on the ship
has six identical towels
yo-ho we’ve lost our way
now we smell like lemon spray
no treasure, no glory, no fearsome legacy
just a very well organized space
the captain stood upon the deck
holding a decorative lantern shaped like a hedgehog
it is kinda nice though
far off in the fog, the sirens sang once more
return soon, for a toilet brush blessed by the gods on the yellow blue shore
