Take care, beware, fire off a warning flare!
|
Radio dispatch, romantic mismatch, Coast Guard,
|
Right Guard, Come and help a retard
|
Battle the swelling waves from the Atlantic's icy age,
|
'Cause there's an enemy in sight,
|
And a communique sent scrambled (in the night)
|
It says, "B-4, I'm gonna wage a whole war,
|
I'll C-2 it that your battleship is sunk way
|
Down or run aground.: Scrap heap, dead meat,
|
As the water rose he heard from down below...
|
All his boys say,
|
"It's O.K.! We've got a tab at the bar
|
That we ain't gonna pay.
|
You know we're tough as nails
|
And we're gonna stay that way!
|
FULL SPEED! AHEAD! Grab the wheel, use your head!
|
We're gonna sail fast and
|
we're gonna go real, go real far."
|
And what we've got is the unsinkable sub-plot
|
Of real life fiction taking on a mission-
|
Waterloo (Screw you!), WWII (Yeah!).
|
Now I know you think that at times it really stinks:
|
Booby-trapped love den, hanging out in Ho Chi Minh,
|
Midway, on the sea fighting off the Japanese
|
[Midway, NO WAY! Kamikaze, go away!]
|
(and she says)
|
"B-4 I'm gonna wage a whole war,
|
I'll C-2 it that your battleship is sunk way down or run aground."
|
Scrap heap, dead meat, as the water rose
|
He heard from down below...
|
All his boys say,
|
"It's O.K.! We've got a tab at the bar
|
That we ain't gonna pay.
|
You know we're tough as nails
|
And we're gonna stay that way!
|
FULL SPEED! AHEAD! Grab the wheel, use your head!
|
We're gonna sail fast and
|
we're gonna go real, go real far."
|
As far as I know the whole damn crew is in the boiler room,
|
Puttin' on the pressure and holding it together,
|
I know they got my back, and I know they got yours, too!
|
And all his boys say, (Hell yeah!)
|
"It's O.K.! We've got a tab at the bar
|
That we ain't gonna pay.
|
You know we're tough as nails
|
And we're gonna stay that way!
|
FULL SPEED! AHEAD! Grab the wheel, use your head!
|
We're gonna sail fast and
|
we're gonna go real, go real far."
