\nLeft a legacy of some discrepancies
\nKnitted beaver, knitted beaver
\nDanced a merry jig ‘twixt the bow and brig
\nKnitted beaver, knitted beaver
\nTook a candy cane and fled the Spanish Main
\nKnitted beaver, knitted beaver
\nSwam to sunny shores, full of leggy whores<\/p>\n
\nHe strode around with his conkers down
\nShowing off in front of local sailors
\nHaving witty talks with tailors<\/p>\n
\nChased accordingly and metaphorically
\nKnitted beaver, knitted beaver
\nLeft the leggy whores with their stores
\nKnitted beaver, knitted beaver
\nFound a tiny land with no marching band
\nKnitted beaver, knitted beaver
\nDrank his life away, wasted every day<\/p>\n
\nCouldn’t hold a tray
