And this one was, I wrote this one when, you know the recent cruise ship, not the most recent one where there was rocking around and braking, but the one where it was just stuck and stranded.
And now I've never been on a cruise, but I'm never going on one, I'll tell you that.
I mean, it seems like, no doubt, many of them go off about a hitch, and of course those are not the ones that we hear about.
But the ones that we do hear about have convinced me that it's not for me.
Like, there's always like, on one of them, everybody on the whole ship had dysentery.
I mean, you wouldn't be stuck on a ship with 4,000 people with dysentery, do you?
Because I don't.
Or like, the food's rotten, they get food poisoning, or people are swimming and they sail away anyway.
Or people probably went [E] overboard and sail away anyway.
But on that last one, the one [C#] where they were stranded for a while, and then when they landed they were called heroes, which a lot of people thought that was pretty funny in light of the recent Chilean minor thing.
Chilean minors were like, oh, you poor thing.
Four days on a cruise ship, how could you do it?
But [G] still, I'm sure there were unpleasant [N] aspects of it.
One of them was that there was no food, because all the refrigerators didn't work, so there was no food.
So they had to fly food in, and apparently what they flew in was Pop-Tarts and Spam.
Again, I don't know who goes on cruises, but I have a sense that those who do probably already are fans of Pop-Tarts and Spam, so maybe they didn't mind it.
But, [Am]
[C] well, I have to [Am] write a song called Pop-Tarts and Spam.
[C] [Am] Well, let's go on a cruise, drink lots of [C] booze, let the high life and the romance happen.
The trip that we chose [Am] is not one of those [C] where everybody's [G] puking and crappin'.
[Am] I don't believe they mentioned [C] in the from where they're burning, the fires in the [G] engines and the stocked up [C] turrets.
Pop [Am]-Tarts and Spam, I'm do-si-do [C] with my [Am] baby life just so glam.
Seems [C] we're going nowhere, [Am] baby love starts in these gates with [D] three parts and cup, [C] Tarts and Spam.
[Am] [C] [G]
[C] You can look like a jewel, [Am] dress for the [C] pool, never even take your suit off.
We can stare at the [Am] sea, stare at the sea, till an airplane [A] drops the food on.
[Am] We can swim with all the [C] creatures in the beautiful sea here, hope that when we [G] turn around the ship will [C] still be here.
Pop-Tarts [Am] and Spam, I'm [C] do-si-do [G] with my baby [Am] life just so glam.
[C] Seems we're going [Bm] nowhere, [Am] baby love starts in these gates with [C] three parts and cup, Tarts and Spam.
