The Rocket John B.
This got stuck in my head yesterday so I put it down in bits so it would stop playing.
The Rocket John B to the folk song “Sloop John B”
We launched in the rocket John B
Six astronauts and me
Around the earth and moon we did roam
Working all night
Hit a meteorite
Our ship’s so broke up
We’ll never get home
So seal up the John Bs hull
See how the Epoxy sets
Call for the ground crew’s advice
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, Please let me go home
Our ship’s so broke up
We’ll never get home
The first mate he got drunk
And ignored all that space-junk
The radar console blared a warning tone.
Damn asteroid stone
Why didn’t you leave us alone, yeah yeah
Well our ship’s so broke up, we’ll never get home
So seal up the John Bs hull
See how the Epoxy sets
Call for the ground crew’s advice
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, Please let me go home
Seal up the John Bs hull
But our ship’s so broke up
We’ll never get home
Let me get home
The captain he caught the fits
And airlocked the first mate Fritz
And then he went and shot Engineer Stone.
Let me go home
Why don’t they let me go home
This is the worst trip that I’ve ever flown.
So seal up the John Bs hull
See how the Epoxy sets
Call for the ground crew’s advice
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, Please let me go home
Our ship’s so broke up
We’ll never get home
