The Boat Song (We're Getting Loaded) Songtext
von The Ike Reilly Assassination

Du-doo du-doo du-doo du-doo du-du-doo
Du-doo du-doo du-doo du-doo du-du-doo
Du-doo du-doo du-doo du-doo du-doo
Du-doo du-doo du-doo du-doo du-doo
Du-doo du-doo du-doo du-doo du-du-doo

Take the empty bottles
And the broken models
With their hollow smiles
And open throttles
And put ′em on a ship
Take my so-called friends
All that money means
All those moneyed men
With the flight attendants
And put 'em on a ship


And when it sails away
You′ll hear people say
"You'll never get no play
From the cheap seats, boys
We're getting loaded"

Take the promise keepers
Yeah, those righteous creeps
The legend seekers
Of the ivy league
Let′s put ′em on a ship
Take the vulgar boatmen
And the drunken showmen
And the Willy Loman's
Rock and roll
And put ′em on a ship

I'll give you a kiss
On your big fat lips
Let′s have a drink
Before we ship
We're getting loaded
We′re getting loaded
We're getting loaded
We're getting loaded
Yeah


Du-doo du-doo du-doo du-doo du-doo
Du-doo du-doo du-doo du-doo du-doo
Du-doo du-doo du-doo du-doo du-du-doo

In these trying times
You don′t know what you need
You don′t know what you want
You don't know what to leave
You don′t know what to take
You don't know what to bleed
Take my blue-eyed son
He′s the beautiful one
He had angel hair and a Tommy Gun
Stayed out all night long
Looking for a rave
With his pretty mom
And some ecstasy

I played him Boy Named Sue
Now he hates his name
Said when he's eighteen
He′s gonna blow me away
We're getting loaded
We're getting loaded
We′re getting loaded
We′re getting loaded
Yeah

And when it sails away
You'll hear people say
"You′ll never get no play
From the cheap seats, boys
We're getting loaded"
