- Wow...where to begin ? I guess the most obvious is "Son of a Son of a Sailor"
- a couple of classic lines:
-
- "As the son of a son of a sailor,
- I set out on the sea for adventure,
- Expanding the view of the captain and crew,
- Like a man just released from indenture"
-
-
- or
-
- "The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains,
- I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer"
