Now modern ships carry mighty funny gear
(And away, get away, you shanty man!)
Ain't seen a halyard for many's a year
(And they got no use for a shanty man)

Slick new fittings are all your style
(And away, get away, you shanty man!)
All very clever, but they just ain't right
(And they got no use for a shanty man)

Shanty man, oh shanty man!
Who's got a berth for a shanty man?
Sing you a song of a world gone wrong
When they got no use for a shanty man

Levers to pull and buttons to press
(And away, get away, you shanty man!)
Real-life sailors who need 'em less
(And they got no use for a shanty man)
Floating computer dressed as a ship
(And away, get away, you shanty man!)
Skippered and crewed by a microchip
(And they got no use for a shanty man)

Shanty man, oh shanty man!
Who's got a berth for a shanty man?
Sing you a song of a world gone wrong
When they got no use for a shanty man
