Royal Blue Vinegaroons I'll tell you of a pirate crew Who famously were all insane Their sailing ship was made of anchors They had a most peculiar name

Royal Blue Vinegaroons The first mate was a trained baboon They ate doubloons and drank spittoons Royal Blue Vinegaroons

Them scalawags had hooks for hands And some had wooden pegs for legs Their captain had the worst prosthetic He used a starfish for his head

Royal Blue Vinegaroons A goofy crew of true buffoons Their weapons were balloons and spoons Royal Blue Vinegaroons

Royal Blue Vinegaroons If they return it won't be soon They got marooned upon the moon Royal Blue Vinegarooooons!

In the town of Slumberland there's a semi-secret underground bar called the Slippery Shanty. An establishment full of local lore and adult beverages. The background music you hear is comes from a small wooden box with a speaker. The box sits on a high shelf and seems innocent enough but there's something mysterious about the box. Its owner, Tomas Anonymous, tells the story of how he found this box.

You're invited down into the semi-secret underground bar located beneath the Supper Shack. An establishment full of local lore and adult beverages. The nominal proprietor is Captain Delmar Silverfish, but his current catatonic state prevents you from really getting to know the good captain, just yet. Something sinister could be involved, and it's up to Tomas Anonymous to sort it out with some help from Omar Evanston and Chip Woode.
