There's a ship arriving too late

To save a drowning witch

She was swimmin' along

Tryin' to keep a date

With a merchant marine

Who told her he was really rich

But it doesn't matter no more...

She's on the ocean floor

'n the water's all green down there

'n it's not very clean down there

'n water snakes

'n rusty wrecks

Is all that she can see

As the light goes dim

And she's tryin' to swim

Will she make it?

(boy, we sure hope so...)



Not even a witch oughta be caught

On the bottom of america's spew-infested

Ho-ho-ho, hey-hey...

She could get radiation all over her

She could mutate insanely... (aie-ee-aie)

She could mutate insanely... (earth wall)

Then you know

She could go on the freeway and grow up to be 15 feet tall

And very very scary-lookin'

And then...

Cars could crash all over the place

As a result of people with hawaiian shirts on...

Lookin' up to hear her go "ha ha ha..."

Sardines in her eyebrows...

Lobsters up 'n down her pudenda

All of them horribly large from graduation...

And smelling very bad

And dangerous!



Maybe a submarine could save her,

That's right! yes, that's true!

And bring her back just like a mud-shark...

Tell 'em what they win, bob!

Well, therefore ladies:

A full week's supply of gartenion's onion rings,

Bronco's new bondage-in-a-bottle!

It won't crack, it won't stake, it won't beat, it won't budge,

It won't bite the old fate...

And of course a brand new, absolutely brand new,

New, new, and of course, but also a new car!
