During the 2 weeks, word of Q's drinking adventure makes the round of the ship. Gwen becomes inspired and decides to immortalize the event in song...
Drinking Pace
[Verse 1]
Crewmates, crewmates, tell the deckhands
That Q’s reign has just begun
I got my first stipend on Badger Five
Then I challenged the biggest one
[Verse 2]
Barkeep, barkeep, please just witness
I ain’t layin’ down my mug
I near kissed death off my Doom Chariot
Forgive me—now watch me chug
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody wants somebody to toast
(Badger, Badger) Everybody wants somebody to roast
(Trust me) Everybody’s shoutin’ ’cause they can’t get enough
And it’s hard to stay upright when there’s no rail to lean on
[Chorus]
(Drink!) You know I’m gonna drink through the storm
Q says, you gotta keep the pace
(Drink!) Don’t let my “boss talk” start a brawl
Now we gotta keep the pace
[Post-Chorus]
Keep the drink
Keep the drink
Q says, we gotta keep the pace
[Verse 3]
Tell me, big guy, when I outdrink you
Do you keep it all inside?
Do you nod while I talk about me, me
Just hide behind your pride? Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody wants somebody to toast
(Captain, captain) Everybody wants somebody to roast
(Don’t ditch me) Everybody’s sweatin’ ’cause the tab is rough
Well, it’s hard to act the boss when there’s no crowd to lean on
[Chorus]
(Drink!) You know I’m gonna drink through the storm
Crew, we gotta keep the pace
(Drink!) I’m level one, but I still run this hall
Right now we gotta keep the pace
(Drink!) “Avian are better”—yeah, that’s my thing
Crew, we gotta keep the pace
[Post-Chorus]
Keep the pace
Keep the pace
Oh, we gotta keep the pacek
Keep the pace
Keep the pace
Crew, we gotta keep the pace
[Bridge]
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I’ve been rollin’ on the Doom Chariot
Through Badger Five’s tight bays
I don’t like the way they look at me
Like my crown’s a joke they made
Sometimes I wait forever
For them to say I’m right
So no one sees me wobblin’
Tryna walk a straight-line tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
(Captain, crew) Everybody wants somebody to toast
(There’s tabs I’ve run I can’t erase)
Everybody wants somebody to roast (And every night I swear I’m great)
Everybody’s shoutin’ ’cause they can’t get enough (It’s hard with these blue guys in your face)
Everybody drinks, everybody, keep the drink (First they were cool, Now they’re not cool)
[Chorus]
(Drink!) You know I’m gonna drink through the storm
Q, you gotta keep the pace
(Drink!) Don’t you let your pride start a brawl
Right now, we gotta keep the pace
(Drink!) Keep the pace, keep the pace
Tryna stand up, tryna stand up, yeah
drink (Ow!)
Keep the pace, keep the pace
Everybody, keep the pace
(Drink!) Keep the pace, keep the pace (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everybody wants somebody to toast (drink)
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Everybody wants somebody to roast
Everybody wants somebody to toast (drink)
(Oh, na-na, oh, na-na)
Everybody drinks, everybody, keep the pace (Oh!)
(Drink!)
(Drink!)
(Drink!)
