lyrics

Broken Rudder

The hull is cracked, got a busted mast
What to do but to sail on, what to do but to sail on
Broken rudder and a busted mast
What to do but to sail on
Rudder's gone, busted mast, cracked hull, crazy captain
Captain, captain, should we swim now
or go down with the ship
I approach this journey with the best of intentions
Mm-mm-mm, intentions, you know the problem
with intentions, not the same as deeds, mm-mm no indeed
Busted hull and a broken mast
What to do but to sail on
Captain, captain, should we swim now
or go down with the ship
Aw, I think I'm going to have to digress now
Can I digress, shit the Saints just won the super bowl
I'm gonna digress, I'm gonna keep it clean though
Impart a couple of truths, here's one truth
If you use Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo
For a body wash, ho ho ho
It'll make your Johnson smell like Johnson and Johnson
Mm hm...here's another truth, Irish Spring
Deodorant soap, not magically delicious
Hull is cracked, broken mast, rudder gone
What to do but to sail on
What to do but to sail on crew
Sail on, sail on
Sail on through
