Come gather round you sailors
Soldiers and Marines
I'll tell you bout some sailors
Making history
The world's strongest Navy
Was delivering the bombs
From the hills of California
To the swamps of Vietnam
USS Anderson
Heading off to war
Didn't make it too far
Barely left the shore
Bolts and chains
In the main reduction gear
Now it can't do much
But sit right here
All hands on deck, let's give 3 cheers
To the man who threw the wrench in the gears
USS Forestall
Heading off to war
Didn't make it very far
Barely left the shore
Fire to the radar
Middle of the night
Fire to the Admiral's Quarters
He ain't gonna fight
All hands on deck, let's give 3 cheers
To the man who threw the wrench in the gears
USS Ranger
Heading off to war
Didn't make it very far
Barely left the shore
A little paint scraper
In the main reduction gear
Now it can't do much
But sit right here
All hands on deck, let's give 3 cheers
To the man who threw the wrench in the gears
The world's strongest Navy's
Got a little glitch
It needs obedient sailors
Flipping every switch
They sent the country's future off
To fight a greedy war
So the they took all the equipment
And threw it overboard!
