Story Behind The Song

I wanted to write an unsweet song for children, a song that would amuse both parents and children.

Song Description

A song in incorrect English about two very bad guys who more or less get their come-uppance.

Lyrics

Two aw'fli dan'grous bad bad guys
With dirty nails and squinty eyes
Got off the ship in ChungChalong
With all the loot and stuff they'd brung
Along with them from Archingore
Where they had looted bad before

They'd snuck aboard the Drunken Maid
And stowed away where stores were laid
The customs did not see them come
And the police had all gone home
And were asleep when this went on
Just up the coast by ChungChalong.

One aw'fli dang'rous bad guy said,
"Seems everyone has gone to bed
Along this coast of ChungChalong
There's not a soul around to wrong."
For what's the use of being bad
If no one sees you and gets mad

They squinted here they squinted there
For someone they could try to scare
But never saw that all along
In deepest, darkest ChungChalong
The ones they'd robbed in Archingore
Were there, and they were really sore

The angry mob from Archingore
Did what had not been done before
They cleaned the bad guys' dirty nails
Before they raised their purple sails
And sailed away from ChungChalong
With loot and bad guys brung along

The aw'fli dan'grous bad bad guys
Were told to mend their bad bad ways
And clean their nails and not to squint
So they could earn an honest mint
Like proper folk in Archingore
Yikes, what an aw'fli bad bad bore

The aw'fli dan'grous bad bad guys
With cleaned up nails and squinty eyes
Escaped by boat to ChungChalong
Where later they were prob'ly hung
When the police woke up and saw
How much they liked to break the law.
