Monkey Island - Plank Of Love Lyrics

Guybrush:
I was a lucky sailor
as free as a tropical breeze.
But your love clapped me in irons
And I can't reach the keys!

Now my heart is in your brig.
and I know it's not the only lodger.
But since you cast away my love,
I'm no longer a Jolly Roger

All:
Plank of Love!

Guybrush:
Don´t make me take that one last step.

All:
Plank of Love!

Guybrush:

Why must you treat me like a schlep.

I´d keep an even keel,
but it´s a dirty deal!
There´s no appeal!
And now I must walk this plank of love.

Darling please be mine,
only you can make me whole.
Your love is the lime
for the scurvy in my soul.

I used to dream of sunken treasure,
But now my only wish is
To be staying here with you tonight,
Instead of sleeping with the fishes.

All:
Plank of Love!

Elaine:
I love you though I know I shouldn´.

All:
Plank of Love!

Elaine:
I´ll walk with you down that plank so wooden.

Elaine:
My hearts been cursed,
by your love coerced,
In thoughts of you I am immersed!
And now I must walk this plank of love.

Guybrush:
You´ve got the booty I want the most,
I´m not talking about your money.
My life´s as dry as whole wheat toast.
Without you, my Plunder-Bunny.

Elaine:
You know you´ve got my soul shanghaied!
Not even all your corny jokes´ll
Make me wish that I was not your bride.
When you carry me ´cross your fo´c´sle.

All:
Plank of Love!

Guybrush:
Don´t drown me in the ocean salts.

All:
Plank of Love!

Guybrush:
Don´t think my song is only schmaltz.

Elaine:
You´re a pirate mighty.

Guybrush:
You´re my Aphrodite.

Both:
Next to you, my heart feels flighty,
And now I must walk this plank of love.

Guybrush:
But now our love´s in danger,
You´re a statue, made of gold.
It makes my heart sink like an anchor,
Keeping you in my cargo hold.

Elaine, I can´t wait to see you,
in a sparkling wedding gown,
But if I can´t break that curse soon,
I´m gonna have to melt you down.

All:
Plank of Love!

Guybrush:
I hope that curse breaks quick.

All:
Plank of Love!

Guybrush:
´Cause the balloon payments due soon on this ship.
