They Might Be Giants - Rowboat Mayor lyrics

[They Might Be Giants - Rowboat Mayor lyrics]

Floating around the roiling sea in
A red Solo cup rowing around the coral reef
Thinking the whole thing up thinking

He thinks he's such a rowboat mayor
But he's not one now and he's not one lat-or
He thinks he's such a rowboat may-er
On a steady diet of small potaters

The nautical council held a deposition
Seems all shipmates have the same position
Honors and ranks are all just crowing
In a vessel this small there is only rowing

Fighting atop the ocean waves in
A red Solo cup
Our gold doubloons lost in the
Spray are never floating up

There was never such a thing
As a rowboat mayor
For a pack of cigarettes I
Will tell you later
