The first really silly song of the album. Features and auction, and a "fist" fight.
lyrics
This is the Kraken's home, you better watch out
Gliding on the surface
I keep silent so he'll stay asleep
Yet sailing all so gently
For behind me it's none other than the Creep
Waiting to get past this
I can feel a stirring in the sea
Shadows in the ocean begin swirling
Do they fear what's in the deep
I heard mother say that deep within the sea
There's monsters all around but one that trumps them all
A Kraken of the deep a slayer of all ships
A beast among all beasts the one that makes you fall
I can't say for sure but looking down below
There's something going on that makes me think it's real
Creatures of the sea are nowhere to be found
They swam away in fear they sense it all around
But I don't wanna fight a Kraken of the deep
I have to sail across this big ol' great blue sea
And if I get attacked by the monster of the deep
I'll have to stay and fight I'll have to protect me
Is this beast below for real
Is this something that I feel
Is it gonna make me squeal
I don't want to be it's meal
I am the beast you all call the Kraken
Your sailing ship has awoken me
You should know you are not welcome here
Prepare yourself for I am mighty
We're gonna start the bid at five, five, five, five
Can I hear a five can I hear a five can I hear a five, five
Five and a quarter, five and a quarter
Five and a quarter, five and a quarter, five
Five and a half, five and a half, do I hear five and a half
Can I get a five and a half
Five and three quarters
Sold to the man on the horse
Alakazam, I'm the Kraken
And I've come out here to play
You're just a man, and now I'm laughin'
And you got no chance today
Shimatysham, time to get packin'
Gonna send you on your way
Cause that's the plan, your boat is lackin'
You'll never get away
Yeah, here I come to seize the day
I followed you and caught up with
Your old schooner now you'll feel my wrath
You'll be sorry that you ran
What is this beast that has come to take you from me
I can't handle two villains at a time
You won't have to, I'll take of the Kraken there
What are you talking about, I thought that you were my foe
I will rescue you, then I'll come for you my friend
I'll just take this chance to escape on this day
The Creep has chosen to fight the beast, just for me
Come on Kraken, let's get to smackin'
Put up your tentacles, and feel my bare knuckles
You may be a giant beast but I am the Creep
Today is your last day, now get out of my way
An epic battle between the Creep
And the Atlantic Ocean's beast of the deep
They put up there dukes, that's eight vs two
There was a big splash and then an evil laugh
