**[Shantyman]**
Captain Wand, the pirate, was troubling seas here and there
so she kept in hiding, in a sea that was barely there
and so it changed, a haunted place, the fear of the first drop

**[All]**
To make the Starfish Blockade, oh the Starfish Blockade
Wand made the Starfish Blockade, oh the Starfish Blockade


**[Shantyman]**
And soon every sailor, was wallowing in despair
Even with Wand leaving, the sea made you stand up your hair
a rumour here, of monsters there, the stories all absorbed

**[All]**
Into the Starfish Blockade, oh the Starfish Blockade
Fear caused the Starfish Blockade, oh the Starfish Blockade

**[Shantyman]**
Captain Tis, the merchant, had many goods to prepare
trouble is, the sea route, more starfish than could be called fair
no way around, the only route, all trade got ground to halt

**[All]**
Blocked at the Starfish Blockade, oh the Starfish Blockade
No trade through the Starfish Blockade, oh the Starfish Blockade

**[Shantyman]**
Enter Ahab, whaler, certain to end all despair
Tis had the solution, but needed a captain to fare
letter at hand, the Pelkot crew, prepared to take the path


**[All]**
Across the Starfish Blockade, oh the Starfish Blockade
They crossed the Starfish Blockade, oh the Starfish Blockade

**[Shantyman]**
Not all survived the journey, half lost from here to there
First arrived a whaleship, brought sooner the solution pair
A faeship here, a faeship there, name seas until they meet

**[All]**
Around the Starfish Blockade, oh the Starfish Blockade
They circled the Starfish Blockade, oh the Starfish Blockade

**[Shantyman]**
Old Ahab was fuming, it wasn't pointless to be fair
The Blockade now, once conquered, its monsters pecked down a pair
So always think, 'fore rumours spread, lest you might be the cause

**[All]**
Of the next Starfish Blockade, oh the Starfish Blockade
We all made the Starfish blockade, yes the Starfish Blockade!
