Full Speed Ahead lyrics

Take care, beware, fire off a warning flare!

Radio dispatch, romantic mismatch, Coast Guard,

Right Guard, Come and help a retard

Battle the swelling waves from the Atlantic`s icy age,

`Cause there`s an enemy in sight,

And a communiqué sent scrambled (in the night)

It says, "B-4, I`m gonna wage a whole war,

I`ll C-2 it that your battleship is sunk way

Down or run aground.: Scrap heap, dead meat,

As the water rose he heard from down below...

All his boys say,

"It`s O.K.! We`ve got a tab at the bar

That we ain`t gonna pay.

You know we`re tough as nails

And we`re gonna stay that way!

FULL SPEED! AHEAD! Grab the wheel, use your head!

We`re gonna sail fast and

we`re gonna go real, go real far."

And what we`ve got is the unsinkable sub-plot

Of real life fiction taking on a mission-

Waterloo (Screw you!), WWII (Yeah!).

Now I know you think that at times it really stinks:

Booby-trapped love den, hanging out in Ho Chi Minh,

Midway, on the sea fighting off the Japanese

[Midway, NO WAY! Kamikaze, go away!]

(and she says)

"B-4 I`m gonna wage a whole war,

I`ll C-2 it that your battleship is sunk way down or run aground."

Scrap heap, dead meat, as the water rose

He heard from down below...

All his boys say,

"It`s O.K.! We`ve got a tab at the bar

That we ain`t gonna pay.

You know we`re tough as nails

And we`re gonna stay that way!

FULL SPEED! AHEAD! Grab the wheel, use your head!

We`re gonna sail fast and

we`re gonna go real, go real far."

As far as I know the whole damn crew is in the boiler room,

Puttin` on the pressure and holding it together,

I know they got my back, and I know they got yours, too!

And all his boys say, (Hell yeah!)

"It`s O.K.! We`ve got a tab at the bar

That we ain`t gonna pay.

You know we`re tough as nails

And we`re gonna stay that way!

FULL SPEED! AHEAD! Grab the wheel, use your head!

We`re gonna sail fast and

we`re gonna go real, go real far."
