Lyrics since I couldn't find them in comments:
What do you do with an Innsmouth sailor,
What do you do with an Innsmouth sailor,
What do you do with an Innsmouth sailor,
Who breaks the Oath of Dagon?

[Chorus]
Way, hey, and up she rises,
Way, hey, and up she rises,
Way, hey, and up she rises,
Sworn unto the Order!

Soak him in oil til he sprouts a flipper,
Soak him in oil til he sprouts a flipper,
Soak him in oil til he sprouts a flipper,
Keep the Oath of Dagon!

[Chorus]

Pack him in salt and call him kipper,
Pack him in salt and call him kipper,
Pack him in salt and call him kipper,
Keep the Oath of Dagon!

[Chorus]

What do you do with an Innsmouth sailor,
What do you do with an Innsmouth sailor,
What do you do with an Innsmouth sailor,
Who breaks the Oath of Dagon?

[Chorus]

Serve him on a plate with a slice of lemon,
Serve him on a plate with a slice of lemon,
Serve him on a plate with a slice of lemon,
Keep the Oath of Dagon!

[Chorus]

Heave him over to the deep sea women,
Heave him over to the deep sea women,
Heave him over to the deep sea women,
Keep the Oath of Dagon!

[Chorus]

Way, hey, and up she rises,
Way, hey, and up she rises,
Way, hey, and up she rises,
Keep the Oath of Dagon!

[hmmmooops]

haha ok but seriously keep the oath of dagon folks

[Oooze]

when you get down to it, Dagon seems rather nice compared to, say, Cthulhu.

I love song that start slow and get progressively faster

[MarkSiefert]

I sang the original version of this in middle school boys choir. I would have loved to sing this arrangement.

[notfeedynotlazy]

It really needs the lyrics for those who aren't native English speakers who can't quite get them, it's sung quite fast and it's rather difficult to follow all the jokes - and there're a LOT of them...

Of all the things I thought I’d stumble onto tonight, I was not expecting old one sea shanties

[Solsequiem]

This makes me doubly happy to have bought the "Innsmouth Swim Team" T-shirt, it will show Dagon that I am one of his :D

[papanurgle]

You smoke him.







Literally, smoked fish is delicious.

[steepertree]

Did you actually misspell Innsmouth? Oh, nothing like offending Dagon...

[virullord]

WAY HEY AND UP SHE RISES, SWORN UNTO THE ORDER!

[lokuzzz]

i once heard zadok allen sing this song.

[phreakazoith]

ay, these good old happy tunes sung by my favorite snacks

[drakeredwingofficial]

Didn't know Hank Hill was a member of the Esoteric Order

[AlarusOne]

Got the album/CD from which this came. I knew I would like it even before I heard the full CD...but now that I've listened to it ...I love it! Those brave sea-farin', Dagon lovin' chants are in my head and I can't get them out. Well produced, clever and really fun to listen to. Dagon commands you listen or you'll be served up with a slice of lemon. :D

[koniash]

I only by chance stumbled upon this song, and it made my day :-D

[tadpolman]

Thank you YouTube for recommending vids from 6 years ago I freaking love it
