Ghouls O The Briny Deep
"Ghouls O The Briny Deep" (also known as "We're the Ghouls of the Briny Deep") is a song sung by Lord Poltergeist's ghost mates in the episode "Ghoul Fools." The instrumental titled "Crypt Keeper Comedy" can also be heard in "Séance Shméance."
Lyrics
- Ghouls: Yo, yo, ho, yo ho!
- Patrick: They're good.
- Ghouls: Oh, we're the ghouls of the briny deep.
- Under the waves we like to creep.
- Sleeping in coffins with spider webs
- As ghostly pillows beneath our heads.
- Oh, we're the ghouls of the briny deep.
- Under the waves we like to creep.
- We wear black shrouds that look quite neat.
- But we don't wear shoes, 'cause we have no feet.
- Ha-ha-ha!
- (musical interlude)
- We like to haunt and frighten and scare
- 'Til you jump right out of your underwear.
- We like to eat eyes and brains.
- And drink our grog from rusty drains.
- We don't keep animals like cutesy snails.
- SpongeBob: Gary!
- Ghouls: Our favorite pet's the Cat-O'-Nine-Tails!
Trivia
- The cat-o-nine-tails bears a resemblance to the Kitsune of Japanese folklore. However, the Kitsune is a fox who are canines, and not a cat.
- Historically, a cat-o-nine-tails was a whip with nine ends used to punish sailors in the navy.
- This song is known as "Ghouls O The Briny Deep" Song in the credits of "Ghoul Fools."
- This song is used again as an instrumental background music in a scene during the season 9 episode "Séance Shméance" where ghosts invade the Krusty Krab, and when Patrick is running around the Krusty Krab at the end of the episode.
