It’s “Fore and aft!”
our journey has come to a close
it’s “Fore and aft!”
the yell from our bully mate’s throat
as we head for Treasure Island
with our capacity pearls’ load
in shiny silken pirates’ clothes
it’s “Fore and aft!”

Thank you! The twist is that ‘fore and aft’ is actually the general command given to get the ship ready to sail, whereas here she has just anchored.
