I've sang this song to myself so many times since I first heard it. My older brother even ran a custom-rules RPG campaign where I played as a blind sail-maker with a motley crew who wound up catching the duck in a giant net and eventually killing it.

0:10 Dave, the problem with that idea is that you'd already written Bones in the Ocean, and I don't think you're gonna get any better than that.

I think this is probably one of my favorite TLJ songs ever. I mean, I love 'em all but this one is sooo fun and makes me laugh every time. And I love the way you actually sing it. It sounds a little bit different than the first recordings, and it's absolutely perfect. For tonight, it helps me to find some more motivation to finish my work... Thanks guys !

[@thelongestjohns]

Thanks so much!

*LYRICS - Moby Duck - The Longest Johns* After fourteen years I left the sea, for a life upon a lake.
After all the storms I'd seen, I needed a good break.
I thought still waters would mean peace for me,
but that was a mistake…
For the place I chose was bedeviled…by a giant evil drake.

A mallard of such malice, twice the size of any man.
A bill to give you nightmares and a monsterous wingspan.
You cannot hope to fight it so avoid him if you can,
that terrifying waterfoul, the beast beyond the dam!

Row-ho Row-ho Row with all our might,
row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight.
Row-ho Row-ho, and with any luck,
we'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck!

I'm not one for surrender, so a vengeful oath I swore.
I gathered up me hearties like so many times before,
we shod our ship with weapons and prepared to go to war!
'Til that fetid feathered fearsome flying duck will breathe no more!
(Ho!) 
Row-ho! Row-ho! Row with all our might,
row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight.
Row-ho, Row-ho, and with any luck,
we'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck!

There was bonnie brave Marie, who to her arms had waved goodbye.
And handsome Jack whose duck-attack left him without an eye!
The darby twins with one leg each on deck were standing by,
only a couple dozen limbs between a crew of twenty-five.

Row-ho! Row-ho! Row with all our might,
row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight.
Row-ho, Row-ho, and with any luck,
we'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck!

The fight raged on for several hours, defend and then attack…
With beatings from those wicked wings our boat began to crack…
The beast reared up to finish the job, and with a mighty quack...!

(QUACK!)

I rammed my harpoon in his throat and made a tasty snack! Row-ho! Row-ho! Row us back to shore,
we'll drag his broken body back and roast it on an oar.
Row-ho, Row-ho, barbecue the beast,
with hoisin sauce and pancakes, we will have the biggest feast!
 Row-ho! Row-ho! Row with all our might,
we rowed 6with harpoons loaded and spoilin’ for a fight.
Row-ho, Row-ho, we had all the luck,
we won the day and did away the dreaded Moby Duck! 
We won the day and did away the dreaded Moby Duck!

QUACK!

[@ProfesoraNut]

I like this version loads more than the album version... It just feels like the base and percussion are stronger with this live version and it really contributes to the overall sound and feel of the song. Plus it's such a treat to see my favorite musicians perform live, especially when you can plainly see they're having an absolute ball with it. And it's in Bristol! The hometown!🙌🙌 Love Robbie's energy as always. But really all of them do just a marvelous job performing live. Hope to see TLJ In 2024 when they come to the States, in Alexandria! Trust me that will be quite the highlight for me! 😁
