THE USS RELATION SHIP

see that old boat way over thar
it's going crabbin' today
I've signed you on / 3 square
but I'd skip that merm payday

no cell phones, a bottle there
to write me back someday
got new cabinboy / golden hair
sweet as any roll in your day

you're wild firing your cannons
blocking out stars tonight
CB serenades me under banyans
ahoy, look, it's Neptune you fight!
