Thank you Flintlocks
lyrics by The Stowaways
tune & some lyrics by Jason Phelps
----------------------------------------------



Gather your muskets, gather your spears
We’ll plunder the shores of Calcinea
No kraken, storm or spell we fear
So come and sail with us my dear.

---

A chocolate drinking tiefling child
Flamboyant drow with hair that's wild
Our halfling sailor has their backs
A monkey wields a stolen sax.

We need info the hag deals mount
Almost higher than we can count
How do we solve them, get them done?
Let’s go and make another one

Through dreams and nightmares we took off
Kicked a revolution off
Changed the course of civil war
Let’s see if we can do some more

[chorus]

Elbows deep in guts and gore
That’s what as surgeon he is for
At first glance just a privateer
But its all for those he holds dear

Gun dad with a vengeance plot,
The kraken’s going to get shot
Don’t underestimate his drive,
Or you won’t make it out alive

The Flintlocks crew, his son, his wife
For any he'd give up his life
With tentacle-y menace gone
He’ll then go back home to his son

[chorus]

A child or an adult dwarf
As long as they don’t polymorph
Friends in danger, twin a fly
And wave the enemies goodbye

They get more gold, they buy more sweets
It's probably all that they eat
And when the sweets are all but gone
It’s time to get the chocolate on

It’s not easy being pink
Living life out on the brink
Finding people you can trust
Friends Courageous, Wise and Just

[chorus]

Left her family in the dark
Went to the world to make her mark
To find her lover she had lost
But does she realize the cost

Speaking with a sassy tone
She’ll heal you with a xylophone
With her guitar she’ll shred your skin
Then play a tiny violin

Disaster bard with wild hair
Masking a heart that's full of care
A troubled past to rise above
A rainbow spirit full of love

[chorus]

Brandy’s gone, but Vig’s still here
We dream of Jet and hold her dear
Fiti, brawler of exquisite taste
Vera’s here, best to make haste

We made an ally in Savate
For Lisabette’s son we all fought
Reginald’s big and pink
Gunther, friend of jewel and kink

A helpful skull, unheard, unseen
Friend is here to help us win
Clara’s potions save our lives
Appleblossom yet survives

[chorus]

Olga’s threat goes on and on
Will she ever truly be gone?
Trying to hide from Scrimshaw’s gaze
Quellena better count her days

A tiefling family that we meet
An unexpected lovely treat
Found family in a harbor town
To remember when we all feel down

The Flintlocks Crew, found family
Then add Lia, Junior, Molly
The family grows, adventures too
We’re glad to come along with you

[chorus]

Fiti’s the best, Olga’s the worst
With Jimothy we’ve all been cursed
A silly song, bonus content
Into my podcast feed was sent

Future Jason reads the ads
As long as he doesn’t go mad
Let’s hope the future treats him well
And isn’t anything like hell

In Jason’s brain, this world exists
Sharing it’s an amazing gift
A mad genius, creative mind
Never anything but kind

[chorus]

A respite on a stressful day
A story to take me away
Rest from the tumult of my mind
Distraction is a gift sometimes

When about to take the long way home
It’s nice to know I’m not alone
I travel with a few new friends
Wait, how long is this thing again?

Lying in my bed at night
I just want to finish this fight
I’ll just listen until the very end-
The sahuagin is not a friend

[chorus]

We've sailed the seas, and made new friends
some we've seen to the bitter end
but all in all our fight is true
Because we share the adventures with you

When navigating land and sea
Bring with you these advent'rers three
Their tales will keep your spirits high
You'll find your journey soon will fly

A crew we know, love and trust
A crew with constant wanderlust
making deals with bitter hags
and eating eggs which Corzin gags

[chorus]

The spirits we've found on the way
Ambivalent, piscine and gay
purple, sonic and of course
a summoned spectral glowing horse

The wind is high, the seas are rough
Going day to day is tough
But never have we sailed so true,
Than when we sail along with you.
