Ship's a Goin' Down |
| Why not live? |
| The catbird shrilled! |
| And give a guy a chance! |
| For soon the moon will sing a tune and I’ll be left to dance |
| Well, strangers have left on longer trains before |
| Yes, shake and shout and cause a spout to be a mockery! |
| Exist inside a lemon drop and cause no word to be |
| If after all this oleo a speck of dust exists |
| We’ll set aside a common tide 'twixt friend and who he’s kissed |
| He thought the end was overdue, but day broke him instead |
| And consequently what he read was never what he said |
| And don’t you never |
| Said the ever Enigmatic Foe |
| Lose your cool, or after school |
| They’ll find me home in bed |
| What hoe you rake you fake a taking and a mating moo; |
| Confuse to use and quick to break are simple rules to you |
| Why send a curly head to bed and know her secrets too? |
| Glue it down you dripping clown, and be not busy, too; |
| If a needy, if a seedy lets him come on through |
| Keys are not thrust open spores, and neither is a broken store! |
| There are clothes that haven’t been worn |
| Feet that haven’t been shorn |
| There’s causes that haven’t been given a principle |
| Need I say more? |
| The soft spoken edge was a close fit |
| With the warped open cracks so many |
| The quick brain drained the main |
| And the ships a goin' down me mates |
| The ship she’s a goin' down |
| The ship' she’s a goin' down |
| The ship' she’s a goin' down |
| The ship' she’s a goin' down |
| Down down down down down |
| Down down down down down |
| The quick brain drained the main |
| And the ships she’s a goin' down, boys |
| The ship she’s a goin' down |
| The ship' she’s a goin' down |
| The ship' she’s a goin' down |
| The ship' she’s a goin' down |
| Down down down down down |
| Down down down down down |
| The quick brain drained the main |
| And the ships she’s a goin' down, boys |
| The ship she’s a goin' down |
| The ships she’s goin' down me mates |
| The ship' she’s a goin' down |
| The ship' she’s a goin' down |
| Down down down down down |
| Down down down down down |
| The quick brain drained the main |
| And the ships she’s a goin' down, boys |
| The ship she’s a goin' down |
| The ships she’s goin' down me mates |
| The ship' she’s a goin' down |
| The ship' she’s a goin' down |
| Down down down down down |
| Down down down down down |
| -ship' she’s a goin' down |
| The ship' she’s a goin' down |
| The ship' she’s a goin' down |
| The quick brain drained the main |
| And the ships she’s a goin' down, boys |
| The ship she’s a goin' down |
| Down down down down down |
| Down down down down down |
