Lyrics Boat Gig - Tribal Tech

Boat Gig

I’ve been playing my drums for 25 years
Like to bang 'em real loud, then drink a few beers
I got the chops to rock you, but I can’t hide or run
'Cause I’m playing Barry Manilow, and having no fun
I’m on my boat gig (boat gig)
I’m on my boat gig, yeah (cruise ship)
Making the bucks
Wearing my tux for you
Now I’m big and mean, and muscle-bound
Got the baddest set of drums in the whole damn town
I can slap my snare drum, knock your head right off
But I’m using my brushes, 'cause I gotta play soft
I’m on my boat gig (boat gig)
I’m on my boat gig, yeah (cruise ship)
Making the bucks
Wearing my tux for you
Now, the boat leaves the dock at about a quarter to nine
Filled with yuppies dressed proper and fine
A wedding reception is tonight’s affair
Who got married?
I don’t care, no, no
Well, you know I gotta feed the kids, gotta clothe da wife
Nothing but heartbreak, trouble, and strife
So, until I make it, and become a big star
You wanna put a little money in my tipping jar?
I’m on my boat gig (boat gig)
I’m on my boat gig, yeah (cruise ship)
Making the bucks
Wearing my tux for you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
