All the other wise men that were left on the boat
All thought of jumping overboard
But one of them choked
Said he was afraid of the ocean
That he’d rather take the heat
“You folk go on ahead” he said
“I’m goina take a seat’”
“Don’t be ridiculous”
One of the folk said to’m
“You’d rather face a fiery death
Than swim out in the ocean?
Let me get this straight then
Are you one of us?
Or one of them?”
“I aint one of anyone
You hear me right?
Now you’d better get swimming or put up a fight
I’m In no mood for getting wise
I’m goina kiss the fire”
Some big jawed woman named Barbara Club
The Tongan Phantom and Revolutionary Blood
All know what it means
To be cogs in a machine
Then one day Phantom turns to blood
And says “Guess what I’m thinking of”
And Blood says “O.K.”
And Phantom says “Alright”
Then in walks Club
“I can hardly believe my ears
You didn’t just say what I think you sez did you?
Well, I aint doing no such thing
I’d rather stay behind”
So phantom disappears
And Blood runs out fast
And Barbara dies
