Oh the year was 2003
(How I wish I was back there right now)
Some tickets came from Wanda Frecks, to the gaudiest vessel you’d ever suspect
(chorus)
God d**n them all, I was told, we’d cruise the seas for casino gold.
We’d pet some rays, drink some beers
I’m a broken man on a Texas pier, the last of strela’s privateers.
Well, Bahama Mama cried the group
(How I wish I was back there right now)
39 brave men and women who would make for her the Freeper crew
(chorus)
The Triumph’s bulk was an awesome sight
(How I wish I was back there right now)
She had 5 pools and gourmet food, and the bars and casino for those late-night jags.
(chorus)
On May 31 we put to sea
(How I wish I was back there right now)
We were 2 whole days to Cozumel cay, drinkin’ like madmen all the way.
(chorus)
On the third day we sailed again
(How I wish I was back there right now)
When a bloody great island hove in sight, on Grand Cayman we prepared to light.
(chorus)
Seven Mile Beach lay low down with sand
(How I wish I was back there right now)
Oh my kite flew high and my heart gave a leap, but it ended up in the briny deep
(chorus)
And at length we stood from Jamaica, eh!
(How I wish I was back there right now)
Our crack fall climbers made a game of Dunn’s, but it ended up makin’ short work of me
(chorus)
I sloshed and gurgled like a drowning rat
(How I wish I was back there right now!)
Well my abs were smashed into Silly Putty and the rapids carried off me dignity
(chorus)
So here I write in me 43rd year
Its been 7 days since we sailed away, and I want to go back yesterday
(chorus)
