Lyrics:
There's gunboats in the estuary
To cut you and protect
Gunboats float like cemeteries
Inside of your guitar
Gunboats in the sepia
Which cannot cry
Shey you para pass gunboat
You dey para you dey para you dey para
Shey you para pass gunboat
Hear the man say
Listen up
As we dey like this
Everybody
Crazy Captain Gunboat Willie
Growled out his commands
And all the able seamen
Clicked their heels and swore
They would protect the noble
Pakistani girls not form Pakistan
Yes they packing hips and thick thighs like whats happening
HEY, PIRATE SHIP ON THE COAST
GULLY CREEPER, GULLY GUNBOAT
fancy gun-boat
Who needs diplomacy?
Fire a cannon, and wave a few swords
Treasure as far as the eye can see
Looter! Plunderer!
Not an insult to me!
it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen
Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat
hate you 'cause your feet's too big
My goodness, gun the gunboats
Shiff, shiff, shiff
Oh, your pedal extremities are colossal
To me you look just
it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen
Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat
the gunboats!
Shift! Shift! Shift!
Oh, your pedal extremities are colossal
To me you look just like a fossil
You got me walkin', talkin' and squawkin',
hate you 'cause your feet's too big
My goodness, gun the gunboats
Shiff, shiff, shiff
Oh, your pedal extremities are colossal
To me you look just
It was ninety miles to freedom but they took the risk
Though the ocean was all motion and the wind was brisk
The deadly gunboats never saw them in
something would happen
Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear
And where are you?
They brought in the submarines
The tanks
drafted in secret.
Gunboats met the red tide, driven to the rum trade for the army that they created.
But the bullets were bought by us, it was dollars
I could be happy I wish
I wish, I wish that something would happen
Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear
And where
these walls were ready, no gunboats reached our shores
But you kids can climb the tower and look out across the harbor
And imagine being lookouts for
fast approachin' them they saw
A vision dark and dim
It was the gun-boat Georgette among
Their deck there stood
One hundred hired assassins to
Shed
lens
Trying to identify the sky's end
Little spots on the horizon into gunboats grow
Waiting for the moon to show
Might be a party, might be a war
In the name of diabolical oligarchy
In the kingdom of demise rules supremacy
Solipsistic crowned nobility
Stern reigning gunboat diplomacy
the gunboats!
Shift! Shift! Shift!]
Oh, your pedal extremities are colossal
To me you look just like a fossil
You got me walkin', talkin' and squawkin',
Look away across the bay
Yankee gunboat come this way
Uncle Sam gonna save the day
Come tomorrow we all gonna pay
And it's burn baby burn
When
died in Memphis
Sailors stood on the decks of U.S. navy gunboats
They watched the reddish glow from that huge dying steamer that lit the northern sky
tongues.
Your gunboat diplomacy.
You accuse me of heresy, of being irreverent.
My opinions irrelevant when I smile at your smiles,
When you're speaking
they're bound to disagree
That you're some kind of VIP with your gunboat democracy
You can shoot off your mouth in your own country
I say Yankee go home
Seems like they're waving goodbye
The end of the endless supply
Last of the gunboat diplomats
Checks in his card at the door
Looks like it's back
