In the midst of World War II
With tensions running high
Off the eastern seaboard
One dark and foggy night
A captain sighted out ahead
Just off the starboard side
The beacon of another ship
The two would soon collide
"Adjust your course 10 degrees to the north"
He radioed ahead
And much to his amazement
The ship replied instead
"Adjust your course 10 degrees to the south"
The captain felt a chill
His eyes grew cold and narrow
And the two drew closer still
"I'm the captain of this vessel
And this is a command
Adjust your course 10 degrees to the north
Or receive a reprimand"
Again, the voice replying
Was calm and smooth as glass
"Adjust your course 10 degrees to the south
I'm a seaman second class"
