Country comedy. Who can challenge an admiral? What can challenge a battle ship?
My "band" is a Macintosh Computer with a sequencer and instrument module (software) and a recording simulator called deck. But it is amazing what can be done with these things!
Story behind the song
It's an old, favorite joke!
Lyrics
The captain, he was on the bridge one dark and stormy night,
When, way off through the raging storm he saw a feeble light.
That light was on the very course on which he was intent.
And so he gave the signal man a message to be sent.
a01CYoua019re in my way! You have to move! Now veer off to the west!
Just five degrees I think will do, though ten degrees is best!
Now send it sailor! Send it fast, the whole and nothing less!
And just to make my meaning clear, you send this here P.S!a01D
a01CGet out the way; Ia019m coming through!
Get out the way, or I just might run over you!
Get out the way! Now dona019t you get it!
Get out the way or youa019ll regret it!
An answer soon came flashina019 back. It pierced the gloom and thick.
It said, a01CYou need to veer off east and ya better do it quick!a01D
On hearing this, the captain scowled, and cogitated some.
Then said, a01CThat guy is very brave or else hea019s really dumb!
So send him this to chew on, a018I am Adma019ral Pompous, son.
Now veer off west and dona019t talk back, this conversationa019s done.a019a01D
Yet came an answer once again, a01CNow dona019t you make no bones!
You really need to veer off east. Ia019m seaman third class Jones.a01D
Well, now the Adma019rala019s in a rage. Hea019s tired of taking lip.
He sends the signal, a01CVeer off west, a018cause Ia019m a battleship!a01D
a01CLeta019s see him top that if he can! Ia019m bettina019 that he cana019t!a01D
With these and words not fit to print did the adma019ral fume and rant!
The other light came flashing back, a01CYou really need to veer!
And ten degrees wona019t do no more; you need double that I fear!
For though youa019re like are a roaring lion and I, a small and slight mouse,
You really have to make that change, because I am a light house!a01D
a01CThata019s why I say, and I hope that you can see;
Thata019s why I say you sure a018nuff cana019t run over me!
Thata019s why I say, and I hope you get it,
You got to veer or youa019ll regret it!a01D
a01CNow cana019t you hear! You got to veer,
So grab that wheel right now and steer!
No! On this course you cannot stay!
a018Cause I cana019t get out the way!a01D
