(Eridan Walkabout)

O come all ye scallywags, sing along with me,
(For) we are the royal trolls, the terrors of the sea!
We pillage and plunder, and we never compromise,
We'll sail these raging waters 'till we take our glorious prize!

We run from no enemy and we can feel no pain.
All of the lower bloods will quake under our reign!
To build metal death machinse to do just what we crave,
To pummel all the land-lovers until they're in the grave!

Masters of the tide,
(The) stars shall be our guide.
If you're not a royal blood,
You'd better run and hide!

Confiscate the crown,
Swing the ship around,
Take a swig of Faygo just to wash the whiskey down.

Instrumental Break

Our brave and fearless leader is...
Eridan!
What a hopeless romantic...
From matesprit to kismesis, his feelings are frantic!
His poor broken heart has been shattered on the floor,
But he'll never stop until he can have her for "shore!"

Come all ye scallywags, sing along with me,
We are the Royal Trolls, the terrors of the sea!
We pillage and plunder, 'cause we know we've got the nerve,
We'll rule these stormy waters and we'll take what we deserve!

Masters of the tide,
(The) stars shall be our guide.
If you're not a royal blood,
You'd better run and hide!

Confiscate the crown,
Swing the ship around,
Take a swig of Faygo just to wash the whiskey down.

Yar har, anchors away!
Soon we'll be coming to ruin your day,
Just resign to your fate.
Soon you'll be made into Gl'Bgolyb bait.

Lyrics by David Ko.

The only thing I'd like to note is the middle section remixing Alex Rosetti's Catchyegrabber. I mean, I'm not the voice of Eridan... and it's a bit of a parallel... but... you know all those people you saw in the flash animation? They were ONLY in the opening sequence. They left after the theme song ecause they realized Plumbthroat was about as bright as a lump of seaweed. He doesn't have any friends. Even the Squiddles refuse to love him. He is one damn lonely man.
