The Bloodboat

"All hail the Bloodboat!"
"A tribute to the mighty seafaring vessel."
"The crashing sound of flatware."
"Came deep from her cargo bay onto the wharf."
"The Bloodboat!"
"The Bloodboat!"
"The Bloodboat! Returning triumphantly to port!"

"Mighty pump, do not fail!
Push the water, let me sail!"
Cries the engine man
On the S.S. Bloodboat
A boat is like a beating heart
Inside out
Blood is like the ocean

"The Bloodboat...."
"A tearful salute."
"The Bloodboat."
"A voyage these young sailors will always remember."
"The Bloodboat."

"Engine man, we're too slow
Two days out, three to go"
Cries the ship captain
On the S.S. Bloodboat
Fancy silver in the hold
Must be sold
When the ship comes to rest

"Push the throttle up,
Mr. Engine Man.
Push the throttle up,"
Says the captain

Forty tons of cutlery
Crushing her against the sea
'Til the hull is split
And the Bloodboat flounders
Down they spin, forks and knives
Precious lives
When the ship comes to rest

"Mighty pump, do not fail!
Push the water, let me sail!"
