    After fourteen years, I left the sea for life upon a lake
    After all the storms I'd seen, I needed a good break
    I thought still waters would mean peace for me, but that was a mistake
    For the place I chose was bedeviled... by a giant evil drake!
    A mallard of such malice, twice the size of any man
    A bill to give you nightmares, and a monstrous wingspan
    You cannot hope to fight it, so avoid him if you can
    That terrifying waterfowl, the beast beyond the dam
    Row-ho! Row-ho! Row with all our might
    Row with harpoons loaded, and spoiling for a fight
    Row-ho! Row-ho! And with any luck
    We'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck!
    I'm not one for surrender, so a vengeful oath I swore
    I gathered up me hearties, like so many times before
    We shod our ship with weapons, and prepared to go to war
    'Till that fetid, feathered, fearsome flying duck would breathe no more
    (Chorus)
    There was bonny, brave Marie who to her arms had waved goodbye
    And Handsome Jack whose duck attack left him without an eye
    The Darby twins with one leg each on deck were standing by
    Only a couple dozen limbs between a crew of twenty-five
    (Chorus)
    The fight raged on for several hours, defend and then attack
    With beatings from those wicked wings, our boat began to crack
    The beast reared up to finish the job, and with a mighty quack,
    *Q U A C K*
    I wrapped my harpoon in his throat and made a tasty snack!
    Row-ho! Row-ho! Row us back to shore!
    We'll drag his broken body back and roast it on an oar
    Row-ho! Row-ho! Barbecue the beast!
    With hoisin sauce and pancakes, we will have the biggest feast!
    Oh, row-ho! Row-ho! Row with all our might!
    We rowed with harpoons loaded, and spoiling for a fight
    Row-ho! Row-Ho! We had all the luck!
    We won the day and did away the dreaded Moby Duck!
    We won the day and did away the dreaded Moby Duck!
    *Quack!*

    "Only a couple dozen limbs between a crew of 25." This line is made even funnier when you do the math and realize that's one limb per person except for one, which means they brought some poor sap along that has no arms or legs; and that's assuming each person has only one limb. For every person that has more than one limb, that's one extra limbless person getting on the boat to fight this thing.
    Suddenly this thoroughly explains why a crew of 25 sailors struggled to fight a duck, because they literally have a fourth of the total limbs they should have and that's hilarious. The fact they managed to do anything at all is incredible.

    You’ve been out on this lake for weeks. you would guess it’s around 2am, you’re resting below deck, you hear a distant yet heavy flapping. suddenly you hear the crew on deck on night watch scrambling, their boots knocking dust from the planks above your head. You climb on deck and see the nigh sky lit by a full moon go dark as the silhouette of some great bird flys above. You hear the command “all men on deck” so you climb the rest of the way up and man a harpoon. You’ve lost sight of the beast but you can hear a distant quack echoing off the water. It could be a mile away and you’d hear it on the still water of the lake. It then swoops down, shattering the main mast and your crew opens fire. The fight persists until dawn, three men carried away, several more out of their minds. The crew is determined to take this beast down so they start chumming the water with hardtack, you hear something moving in the water and spot the the menace gently pecking at the water, it’s beady eyes staring back at you. The thing could keep a crew of 20 happily fed for weeks but you’re too stunned to shoot until it lets out a deafening noise. A quack that leaves your ears ringing bellows out from a bill the size of your forearm. It lunges at the boat, to peck but you squeeze the trigger as it lifts it’s head and your harpoon sinks into its neck, stopping the beast mid strike. The rest of your crew put their harpoons into the slain beast to pull it up onto the deck. You return to your bunk to sleep off the the nights work.

    Remember playing a warhammer fantasy roleplay campaign once with some mates. The first challenge the GM had for our squad, which consisted of a troll slayer (myself) plus a magicians apprentice, mercenary and knight errant. The Challenge was to sail from Marienburg to the wasteland bogs to kill a mysterious creature.turned out it was a chaos mutated frog! Funnest game ever!

    After fourteen years I left the sea, for a life upon a lake
    After all the storms I'd seen, I needed a good break
    I thought still waters would mean peace for me
    But that was a mistake
    For the place I chose was bedevilled by a giant, evil drake
    A mallard of such malice, twice the size of any man
    A bill to give you nightmares and a monsterous wingspan
    You cannot hope to fight it, so avoid him if you can
    That terrifying waterfoul, the beast beyond the dam
    Row-ho, row-ho, row with all our might
    Row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight
    Row-ho, row-ho, and with any luck
    We'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck
    I'm not one for surrender, so a vengeful oath I swore
    I gathered up me hearties like so many times before
    We shod our ship with weapons and prepared to go to war
    'Til the fetid, feathered, fearsome, flying duck will breathe no more
    Row-ho, row-ho, row with all our might
    Row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight
    Row-ho, row-ho and with any luck
    We'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck
    There was bonnie brave Marie, who to her arms had waved goodbye
    And handsome Jack whose duck-attack left him without an eye
    The Darby twins with one leg each on deck were standing by
    Only a couple dozen limbs between a crew of twenty-five
    Row-ho, row-ho, row with all our might
    Row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight
    Row-ho, row-ho and with any luck
    We'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck
    The fight raged on for several hours, defend and then attack
    With beatings from those wicked wings, our boat began to crack
    The beast reared up to finish the job, and with a mighty quack...
    (Quack)
    I rammed my harpoon in his throat and made a tasty snack
    Row-ho, row-ho, row us back to shore
    We'll drag his broken body back and roast it on an oar
    Row-ho, row-ho, barbecue the beast, with hoisin sauce and pancakes
    We will have the biggest feast
    Oh, row-ho, row-ho, row with all our might
    We rowed with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight
    Row-ho, row-ho, row we had all the luck
    We won the day and did away the dreaded Moby Duck
    We won the day and did away the dreaded Moby Duck!
    (Quack)
