about

For the love of Ivy and for the love of an old sea chanty. For a classy, old fashioned gal with a classy, old fashioned name

lyrics

What would you do for the love of Ivy,
Ivy who’s perfectly fair?
Would you stand on a table and dance like her mother
Would you do it with everyone there?
Would you act out the title of her favorite novel
Naked and drunk if she dared?

What would you do for the love of Ivy
Ivy who’s so far away?
Would you get in a bar fight and break all your fingers
And care less that you couldn’t play?
Would you hold up your bandage like it had the power
To bring back your Ivy today?

Oh, Ivy
Oh, Ivy

What would you do for the love of Ivy
Ivy who’s brave and who’s bold?
Would you go to the seashore and cast your net widely
And bring back the silver and gold
And all of the oysters and all the red snappers
Your Ivy’s arms could hold?

What would you do for the love of Ivy
Ivy who’s perfectly true?
Would you sail on the ocean through treacherous waters
From island to island to island, no end?
Would you vanish discretely into the sea easy
And never be heard from again?
Would you know in your soul that Ivy was happy
With her sister and all of their men?

Oh, Ivy
Oh, Ivy

Na na na na…

Would you vanish discretely into the sea easy
And never be heard from again?
