There`s a ship arriving too late
To save a drowning witch
She was swimmin` along
Tryin` to keep a date
With a Merchant Marine
Who told her he was really rich
But it doesn`t matter no more
She`s on the ocean floor
`N the water`s all green down there
`N it`s not very clean down there
`N water snakes
`N rusty wrecks
Is all that she can see
As the light goes dim
And she`s tryin` to swim
Will she make it?
(Boy, we sure hope so...)
Not even a witch oughta be caught
On the bottom of America`s spew-infested
Waterways, hey-hey
She could get radiation all over her
She could mutate insanely...
She could mutate insanely... (that`s right)
She could go on the freeway and grow up to be 15 feet tall
And scary-lookin`
And then...
Cars could crash all over the place
As a result of people with Hawaiian shirts on...
Lookin` up to see her face
Sardines in her eyebrows
Lobsters up and down her forehead(*)
All of them HORRIBLY LARGE FROM RADIATION
And smelling very bad
And DANGEROUS!
Maybe a submarine could save her
And bring her home to the Navy...
For some kind of ritual sacrifice...
