Here I am again in the ship's post office
I want to send a telegram
Send it to the captain
Asking where the hell I am
I've been on this luxury cruise
For twenty five years or more
And I've just begun to wonder
Where we're headed for
Band keeps playing American songs from 1973
Getting wise to the officer's lies
That we've even got a country
You say we're independent
And we've even got the right to choose
Well we're sick of doing nothing
We'd like some work
We'd like some work
We'd like some work to do
Swimming pools, the cocktail parties
You keep us plied with drink
But when we cruised through South East Asia
It made us stop and think
We never take on passengers
Though we seem to have lots of room
And I can't escape the notion captain
That this is a floating tomb
I want to send a telegram
Send it to the captain
Asking where the hell I am
I've been on this luxury cruise
For twenty five years or more
And I've just begun to wonder
Where we're headed for
Band keeps playing American songs from 1973
Getting wise to the officer's lies
That we've even got a country
You say we're independent
And we've even got the right to choose
Well we're sick of doing nothing
We'd like some work
We'd like some work
We'd like some work to do
Swimming pools, the cocktail parties
You keep us plied with drink
But when we cruised through South East Asia
It made us stop and think
We never take on passengers
Though we seem to have lots of room
And I can't escape the notion captain
