Lyrics[]
There once was a squad that readied up
With outfits of fancy to say "What's up?"
Their hopes were high for a win that day
Go me squaddie boys go.
See, there, the Storm she come
To whittle us down and leave just one
(So) Grab your squad, quick, on the run
Let's take our dub and go
The drop was hot and full of threat
T'was lit up by a million sweats
The keg of Slurp would pay no debts
No squaddie was spared that day (Huh!)
See, there, the Storm she come
To whittle us down and leave just one
(So) Grab your squad, quick, on the run
Let's take our dub and go
The Storm was closing in by now
The enemy, full-send, now inbound
They find a way to clutch somehow
So go me squaddie boys go (Huh!)
See, there, the Storm she come
To whittle us down and leave just one
(So) Grab your squad, quick, on the run

Why are there shops labelled as 'parts'? For varying reasons, Epic Games may decide to add or remove items from the Item Shop before the usual rotation occurs. The Fortnite Wiki treats each change to the Item Shop within a single day as a separate 'part' that makes up the day's Item Shop History. |
Why are there two different numbers for Shanty for a Squad's appearances? Shanty for a Squad has, on at least one occasion, appeared in more than one shop in a single day. This has resulted in its count for appearances in the Item Shop being higher than the amount of days it has appeared in it. Both counts are listed by the Fortnite Wiki in order to be as accurate as possible, unlike other sources. |
