1
The Captain's fore-arm like bunched-up rope
2
with A-N-I-T-A wrigglin' free on a skull''dagger
3
and a portrait of Christ, nailed to an anchor
4
etched into his upper...
5
O o o' Cabin Fever!
6
O o o' Cabin Fever!
7
Slams his fucken tin-dish down
8
Our Captain, takes time to crush
9
Some Bloo-Bottles glowin in his gruel
10
with a lump in his throat, and lumpy mush
11
Thumbing a scrapbook stuck up with clag
12
and a morbid lump of Love in his flags.
13
Done is the Missing, now all that remain
14
Is to sail forever, upon the stain
15
Cabin Fever! O o o' Cabin Fever!
16
The captain's free-hand is a cleaver
17
which he fashions his beard, ' he rations his jerkey!
18
and carves his peg outa the finest mahagony!
19
Or was it Ebony? etc...
20
Tallies up his loneliness, notch by notch
21
For the sea offers nuthin to hold or touch
22
Notch by notch, winter by winter
23
Notch x notch, winter x winter
24
Now his leg is whittled, right down to a splinter
25
O o Cabin Fever! O o o Cabin Fever!
26
O the rollin sea still rollin on!
27
She's everywhere! now that she's gone! Gone! Gone!
28
O Cabin Fever! O Cabin Fever!
29
Welcome to his table, Beloved-Unconscious
30
Raisin her host of hair from her crooks
31
and strugglin to summony one of her looks!
32
His arm now like coiled s-s-s-snakes
33
Whips all the bottles that he's drunken,
34
like crystal - skittles about the cabin,
35
of a ship they'd been sailing
36
Five years sunken... etc...
