Time For Another Half-Assed List!
Captain Beefheart Lyrics that, if Said by an Actual Ship’s Captain, Would Almost Certainly Get Him Fired.
1. “I’m gonna grow fins ‘N go back in the water again.” (From “Grow Fins”)
2. “If ya don’t leave me alone I’m gonna take up with ah mermaid.” (Also “Grow Fins”)
3. “Poop hatch open.” (From “81 Poop Hatch”)
He could probably get away with the first two, but opening the poop hatch? Come on. That’s just asking to be fired.
