GLook out, Ma, there'Cs a white boat comin' up the rGiver
With a Cbig red beacon and a flag and a man on the raGil
I think you'd beCtter call John
'cause it don't look like they're here to dBmeliver the maCil
And it's lBm7ess than a mile aCmaj7way
IBm7 hope they didn't come toCmaj7 stay
It's got Bmnumbers on the side and Cmaj7a gun
D ////’//// G //// C G
and it's makin' big waves
