Ship

DGA
Shorty and Slim at the Gamboa boat ramp at noon
Packed
up for a day of fishing on lake Gatun
Outta luck that was de name of dem boat
No
man It didn’t go fast they just a lucky that the ting still float
Well
de day was dark and de cloud it was a treatening
Well
they got a lot of bite but dey just couldn’t bring dem in
Dey
decided to head back wit only two small bass
In
the middle of the channel out of luck ran out of gas
Bm G D
Slim
look around and scream as him eyes pop out A
Rass man! Two ships in the channel one going North the next one south
Slim
kneel and pray dat him sufferation
be brief
F C E
While
Shorty paddle like a Cuna Indian Chief
And
they said
A G D A
We’s a ship out a luck don’t tell me
Ship outta luck
We’s a ship outta luck how can this be
Ship
outta luck
We’s a ship outta luck its just destiny
A G A D
But
doesn’t it suck we’s a ship outta
luck
Slim
shake his head and his from his eyes
While
shorty counted stars waiting for his chichon to rise
The
boat it sink but dey survive disintegration
Now
they wait on an unknown shore in desperation
They
yell for help to any boat coming near
But
dey pass
dem by cuz dey engine too loud to hear
It
was getting dark so a fire was an obvious plan
But
de rain finally came and it wet up all
De
rain stop now but de chance for de fire was gone
And
Mosquitos feast on dem rass like fillet mignon
Shorty
and Slim thank de lord that dey still alive
but
in da tree above dem head Rass! an angry killer bee hive
And
dey said
We’s a ship out a luck don’t tell me
Ship
outta luck
We’s a ship outta luck how can this be
Ship
outta luck
We’s a ship outta luck its just destiny
But
doesn’t it suck we’s a ship outta
luck
Well
de next morning dey wake up with m-sixteen between dem eyes
Guardia
bosque charge dem with
poaching on BCI
Shorty
and Slim tried to explain but to no avail
Dey
was on a boat directly for Gamboa jail
Guardia
Bosque got a radio call at buoy ninety-nine
Two
men in dem handcuffs had been identified
Two
vexed wives had made a missing person report
Dey
said that one was real tall and the odda one was
really short
Dey
laugh at each odda cuz dem finally have good luck
But
dey choke
when dey saw dem wives
standing on de dock
One
looked like a tiger and de odda like asteaming train
Shorty
and Slim wish dey was back on de
island again
We’s a ship out a luck don’t tell me
Ship
outta luck
We’s a ship outta luck how can this be
Ship
outta luck
We’s a ship outta luck its just destiny
Ship
outta luck
We’s a ship outta luck
don’t tell me
Ship
outta luck
