Sea Shanty 3

(Verse 1) Way out on the briny deep, Where the waves do toss and sweep, Sailed a merry crew, their hearts so light, With a cookie jar, their delight. (Chorus) Oh, the last cookie in the jar, Sailed away on a wishful star, But alas, it met a bitter end, And left our hearts to sadly mend. (Verse 2) Each night 'round the galley fire, Sang we songs of sweet desire, For that final cookie, golden brown, The finest treasure in the sailor's town. (Chorus) Oh, the last cookie in the jar, Sailed away on a wishful star, But alas, it met a bitter end, And left our hearts to sadly mend. (Verse 3) But one dark eve, to our dismay, Someone snatched that prize away, A thief unseen, a sneaky knave, Left us mourning by the wave. (Chorus) Oh, the last cookie in the jar, Sailed away on a wishful star, But alas, it met a bitter end, And left our hearts to sadly mend. (Bridge) Gone the joy, the sweet delight, In the depths of that fateful night, For a cookie lost, a tear we shed, As we mourned the one, the last, the dread. (Chorus) Oh, the last cookie in the jar, Sailed away on a wishful star, But alas, it met a bitter end, And left our hearts to sadly mend. (Verse 4) Now we sail with heavy hearts, Where once we laughed, we now depart, For in that jar, a lesson learned, Of a tale of loss, a cookie spurned. (Chorus) Oh, the last cookie in the jar, Sailed away on a wishful star, But alas, it met a bitter end, And left our hearts to sadly mend. So we sing this shanty, sad and low, For the cookie gone, our hearts doth know, That in life's sea, though storms may roar, The loss of a cookie hurts even more. (Outro)
