Weird Beard
Mad Caddies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night was dark
The seas were rough
The port lay straight ahead
The booze ran out
The men grew tired
And this is what they said:
"Captain if you cannot find a place to set her down
Then you'll be sleeping right along with this vessel in the ground"

Well the Jolly Roger pulled through
And made it to the land
We disembarked
Went into town with vengeance in our hand
The children cried
The woman sight
The men just turn their heads
So with a smile we chatted loud and this is what we said

"Oh oh
Raise 'em in the air
We'll knock you up
And slap you down
And never seem to care
Oh oh
Another one for me
Cause we're the filthy vermin
That will set you people free"

With nothing left for us to drink
The night was winding down
But still the girls kept swaggering
And still hanging around
Oh! mister can you tell me where I can find a man
The only thing that you will find is the back side of my hand!

"Oh oh
Raise 'em in the air
We'll knock you up
And slap you down
And never seem to care
Oh oh
Another one for me
We're the filthy vermin
That will set you people free
We're the filthy vermin
That will set you people free
Oh oh
Raise 'em in the air
We'll knock you up
And slap you down
And never seem to care
Oh oh
Another one for me
We're the filthy vermin
That will set you people free
We're the filthy vermin
That will set you people free"

Overall Meaning

The song "Weird Beard" by Mad Caddies tells a story of a pirate crew who were sailing through the harsh sea, exhausted and with no more booze to drink. They were afraid that they might not find a safe place to anchor and all of them would die. However, luck was on their side and they managed to reach the land. Their arrival in the town was not welcomed by the people there as they were seen as ruthless and immoral beings. The pirate's response was to party hard, make loud noises, and declare themselves as free men who don't care about anything else.


The lyrics suggest that the life of a pirate is not easy; it is filled with danger and loneliness. The crew's identity is shaped around their rebellious and anarchic spirit, and they find solace in living as outcasts. The constant themes of the song are empowerment and liberation despite the societal restrictions on them. The chorus repeats itself four times with the pirates' mantra, "raise them in the air, knock them up, slap them down and never seem to care." it shows their complete disregard for law and order.


Overall, "Weird Beard" talks about freedom, rebellion, and how pirates are perceived in society. It is a song that celebrates individualism and living life on one's terms.


Line by Line Meaning

The night was dark
The sun had set and darkness had descended upon the ship


The seas were rough
The ocean was turbulent, with waves rocking the ship


The port lay straight ahead
The destination was visible and within reach


The booze ran out
The drinks had finished and there was no more alcohol left


The men grew tired
The crew members were becoming fatigued and weary


And this is what they said:
The following words were uttered by one of the crew members


Captain if you cannot find a place to set her down
If you are unable to locate a safe harbour,


Then you'll be sleeping right along with this vessel in the ground
You will perish along with this ship if you fail to find a place to dock


Well the Jolly Roger pulled through
The pirate flag proved successful in reaching the shore


And made it to the land
The ship successfully docked on the shore


We disembarked
The crew stepped off the ship


Went into town with vengeance in our hand
The crew entered the town determined to cause trouble


The children cried
The young ones were afraid and crying


The woman sight
The ladies were staring in disbelief


The men just turn their heads
The males ignored the commotion and looked the other way


So with a smile we chatted loud and this is what we said
In high spirits, we started conversing loudly and said the following words


Oh oh
A sound of excitement and enthusiasm


Raise 'em in the air
Lift your glasses high


We'll knock you up
We will surprise and shock you


And slap you down
We will put you in your place with force


And never seem to care
We have no remorse or guilt in our actions


Another one for me
Bring me another drink


Cause we're the filthy vermin
We are the lowly and despised individuals


That will set you people free
We will bring liberation and freedom to you all


With nothing left for us to drink
We had consumed all the alcoholic beverages


The night was winding down
The evening was coming to an end


But still the girls kept swaggering
However, the ladies were still strutting around with a bold and confident manner


And still hanging around
They were lingering and not leaving


Oh! mister can you tell me where I can find a man
Excuse me sir, do you know where I can find a male companion


The only thing that you will find is the back side of my hand!
If you continue to persist, you will be met with a physical rebuke


We're the filthy vermin
We are the unclean and undesirable individuals


That will set you people free
We will save you from your oppressors

I can't, I CAN'T be the only one who finds the "AH!" after he says "The only thing you'll find is the backside of me hand!" to be hillarious. I CAN'T. Right?
