lyrics

We sailed in the Discovery
In 1610
Henry Hudson was the captain
Of two boys and twenty men
We sailed south of Greenland
Looking for Cathay
When the ocean started freezing
We got stuck in Hudson Bay

Where are we now? We are lost!
What should we do? Hudson should be tossed!
Put him on a shallop! Toss him to the sea!
We’re taking over the Discovery!

Mutiny!
Mutiny!

We’ve been sailing round in circles
And we need to re-supply
But crazy Henry Hudson
Doesn’t care if we all die
We must return to England
To see our families
And the only way to do it is
Mutiny!

Where are we now? We are lost!
What should we do? Hudson should be tossed!
Put him on a shallop! Toss him to the sea!
We’re taking over the Discovery!

Mutiny!
Mutiny!

We've had enough of Hudson, he's lost his grip
Knock him out, tie him up, throw him off the ship
Put him in the shallop with the rest of his kind
Raise up the sail, leave them all behind
Now we no longer need to roam
Good luck Henry Hudson we're free to go home

Mutiny!
Mutiny!
Mutiny!
Mutiny!
