Pump Shanty The Mechanisms

[Verse 1]
A wiser man than I once spoke
That life at heart is all a joke
But he was not embroiled in smoke
So it’s pump, me boys, before we choke

[Chorus]
Pump, me boys, let her fly
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your backs and break your bones
We’re just a million miles from home

[Verse 2]
The image of my sweetheart’s face
It fires the heart and sets the pace
Whate’er the time, whate’er the place
I’ll find him through the depths of space

[Chorus]
Singing pump, me boys, let her fly
Down to hell and up to the sky
Bend your backs and break your bones
We’re just a million miles from home

[Verse 3]
I long to lie atop my bed
With pleasant dreams inside my head
But pumping’s all I get instead
I’ll only sleep among the dead
