CREW OF THE FV RAGNAROK (tune: "America" from West Side Story): Here we are back on the Bering Sea; Plenty of spots we would rather be; But what we enjoy always has a fee So let's give a cheer for the Bering Sea! Life is a bitch on the Bering Sea, You toss and you pitch on the Bering Sea But put in your hitch on the Bering Sea And you're going home rich from the Bering Sea....!
CAPTAIN (SOLO) (tune: "All I Want" from My Fair Lady) All I want is a ton of Crab, A deck hand who isn't post re-hab Whom Feds can't wait to grab-- Wouldn't that be lubberly! All I want is a ship that's sound, One that's not gonna run aground, And hauls that bring ten bucks a pound-- Oh, wouldn't.... that...be...lubberly!
GREENHORN (SOLO) ( tune "Open Road, Open Sky" from The Gypsy Baron*) I'm as free as the breeze Cares and worries, I've none' I'm the one they all tease And send on jobs that aren't fun; Let them cuss me and yell-- I'll keep building my "share" And guys who make my life hell Will pay when I'm in "the Chair"!
DECK BOSS AND ENGINEER (DUET) (Tune: Obvious) We're setting another string today, Hurrah, hurrah There's six more gales coming down the Bay, Hurrah, hurrah-- The rudder's jammed, we've lost the cook A whale made off with our pickin' hook But it's all good news 'cause worse is still on the way!
FINALE (CAPTAIN, CREW ENSEMBLE) Like is Okay on the Bering Sea, If you don't stay on the Bering Sea, You can go gray on the Bering Sea; So we're heading away from the Bering Sea--- We've had our day on the Bering Sea, Froze in the spray of the Bering Sea, But we'll come back to play on the Bering Sea When we've squandered our pay from the Bering Sea !
*The tune from that Audi "hummingbird" commercial.

That is great! Not surprising that such cleverness exists on this board. If the musical was being staged, I'd be a deck hand, I mean a stage hand.

Wow Darianagle - you are brilliant! The DECK BOSS AND ENGINEER is awesome! I cracked up and actually snorted my coffee. Sorry - TMI.
