Dirt Poor Robins - Maximilian Von Spee lyrics
[Dirt Poor Robins - Maximilian Von Spee lyrics]
Who coulda known that you would
Be so calm within calamity
For now you've shown us your confidence
Just grows when under siege
Who would have guessed when you were
Distressed it would be your policy
To put your back to the ropes and then by
Cracking a joke knock us out with comedy
Well oh no
Who woulda known you were so clever to define
Disaster equals laughter over time
Disaster equals laughter over time
I have to admit that I was tempted
To believe I might be wrong
When we bound and gagged ya and ya started
To brag that you'd planned this all along
But quickly we learned when you
Were burned you would
Return with words to prove
You're tough enough but, you failed the test
(now confess) call in distress (SOS)
Because British called your bluff
Well oh no, who woulda known that in this
Lowly state you'd find
Disaster equals laughter over time
Disaster equals laughter over time
You're One in a Maximilian
A freestanding strong pavilion
No one ever dares to question your opinion
You're One in a Maximilian
You are feared by soldiers and civilians
Holding both sides of the prime meridian
You're One in a Maximilian
So adored by scores of loyal minions
Ooo you make the ladies
Turn a shade vermillion
You're One in a Maximilian
You're One in a Maximilian
You are one in a million
I pray in your haste that
You would not waste, a thimble of this irony
That these land-loving soldiers have a
Whale on their shoulders
Maximilian Von Spee
Well oh no
Who woulda known that is all as you designed
Disaster equals laughter over time
Disaster equals laughter over time
Disaster equals laughter over time
Be so calm within calamity
For now you've shown us your confidence
Just grows when under siege
Who would have guessed when you were
Distressed it would be your policy
To put your back to the ropes and then by
Cracking a joke knock us out with comedy
Well oh no
Who woulda known you were so clever to define
Disaster equals laughter over time
Disaster equals laughter over time
I have to admit that I was tempted
To believe I might be wrong
When we bound and gagged ya and ya started
To brag that you'd planned this all along
But quickly we learned when you
Were burned you would
Return with words to prove
You're tough enough but, you failed the test
(now confess) call in distress (SOS)
Because British called your bluff
Well oh no, who woulda known that in this
Lowly state you'd find
Disaster equals laughter over time
Disaster equals laughter over time
You're One in a Maximilian
A freestanding strong pavilion
No one ever dares to question your opinion
You're One in a Maximilian
You are feared by soldiers and civilians
Holding both sides of the prime meridian
You're One in a Maximilian
So adored by scores of loyal minions
Ooo you make the ladies
Turn a shade vermillion
You're One in a Maximilian
You're One in a Maximilian
You are one in a million
I pray in your haste that
You would not waste, a thimble of this irony
That these land-loving soldiers have a

Well oh no
Who woulda known that is all as you designed
Disaster equals laughter over time
Disaster equals laughter over time
Disaster equals laughter over time
