Lyrics
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, But there's an enemy in sight, And a communiqué sent scrambled... And then 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-a-run-aground." Scrap heap, dead meat, And 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 of the Japanese 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-a-run-aground." Scrap heap, dead meat, And 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."
