    Royal Blue Vinegaroons
    I'll tell you of a pirate crew
    Who famously were all insane
    Their sailing ship was made of anchors
    They had a most peculiar name

    Royal Blue Vinegaroons
    The first mate was a trained baboon
    They ate doubloons and drank spittoons
    Royal Blue Vinegaroons

    Them scalawags had hooks for hands
    And some had wooden pegs for legs
    Their captain had the worst prosthetic
    He used a starfish for his head

    Royal Blue Vinegaroons
    A goofy crew of true buffoons
    Their weapons were balloons and spoons
    Royal Blue Vinegaroons

    Royal Blue Vinegaroons
    If they return it won't be soon
    They got marooned upon the moon
    Royal Blue Vinegarooooons!

Most target audiences regularly indicate a preference for moderately subversive content and confusion, and you’ll find that this release provides that target with precisely the right amount of each. Because every second of Usable Music (TM) on this record has been personally guaranteed, by everyone still here in Negativland, to be Speech Free."
