[Verse 1]
The Captain's arm like bunched-up rope
And Anita wriggling free on a skull'n'dagger
And a portrait of Christ, nailed to an anchor
Etched into his upper

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Cabin fever
Oh, oh, oh
Cabin fever

[Verse 2]
Slams his fucking tin-dish down
Our Captain, takes time to crush
Some Bloo-Bottles glowin in his gruel
With a lump in his throat and lumpy mush
Thumbing a scrapbook stuck up with clag
And a morbid lump of love in his flags
All done is the kissing, all that remain
To sail forever, upon the stain, stain, stain

[Chorus]
Oh, cabin fever
Oh, oh, oh
Cabin fever
Right
Cabin fever
Cabin fever
[Verse 3]
The captains free-hand is a cleaver
He rations his beard and he fashions his jerky
And he carves his peg outta the finest of mahogany
Or was it ebony? It was ebony
Tallies up his loneliness, notch by notch
'Cause the sea offers nothing for him to hold or touch
Oh, notch by notch, winter by winter
Notch by notch, winter by winter
Notch by notch, winter by winter
Notch by notch, winter by winter
Notch by notch, winter by winter
Notch by notch, winter by winter
Notch by notch, winter by winter
Notch by notch, winter by winter
Notch by notch, winter by winter
The captain's leg is whittled, right down to a splinter

[Chorus]
Cabin fever
Oh, oh, cabin fever
Oh, the rolling sea keeps rollin' on
Oh, the rollin' sea keeps rollin' on
She's everywhere now that she's gone
She's everywhere now that she's gone
Cabin fever
[Verse 4]
Welcome to the table his beloved unconscious
Raising her nest of hair from her crooks
She's trying to summon one of her looks
His arm now like coiled s-s-s-snakes
Snakes, snakes, snakes, snakes, snakes, snakes
Whips, whips all the bottles that he's drunken
Of the cabin they've been sailing
Of the ship they've been sailing
Of the ship they've been sailing

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Cabin fever
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, yes
Somethin'
Oh, five years sunken
Oh
