“Wellerman” by The Longest Johns ================================ [Chorus] Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go [Verse 1] There once was a ship that put to sea And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down Blow, me bully boys, blow (Huh!) [Verse 2] She had not been two weeks from shore When down on her a right whale bore The captain called all hands and swore He'd take that whale in tow (Hah!) [Verse 3] Before the boat had hit the water The whale's tail came up and caught her All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her When she dived down below (Huh!) [Verse 4] No line was cut, no whale was freed; The Captain's mind was not on greed But he belonged to the whaleman's creed; She took that ship in tow (Huh!) [Verse 5] For forty days, or even more The line went slack, then tight once more All boats were lost, there were only four But still that whale did go [Verse 6] As far as I've heard, the fight's still on; The line's not cut and the whale's not gone The Wellerman makes his a regular call To encourage the Captain, crew, and all Österreich - Heimattext by Lisa Eckhart ======================================= Land der Berge, Land der Dome, schwimmst du auch gern mit dem Strome, drehst Fähnchen oft nach dem Gesinde, fehlen dir auch Schrauben im Gewinde Wir salutieren dir, wenn gleich schüchtern, zwar nicht recht stolz, erst recht nicht nüchtern, gehen nicht im Stechschritt durch die Gassen, man bat uns höflich das zu lassen. Nein heut' stehen wir am Praterstand, und speiben für das Vaterland. Du Heimat großen Herrenvolks, nicht immer ist mein Herz voll Stolz, wenn deine Banken pleitereich, weil du das Hypogeld verschluderst und deine Kinder kreidebleich, weil du sie stets im Keller… schminkst. Wenn eine Asylheimscheiben zerscheppert, weil oft bist du zum Scheißen z'deppert, doch wie ein Kind das schiarch und schierg'lat, ein Unfallskind vom Stainzer Kirtag. Das red't nur Schaß, im Hirn nur Ruaß, man liebt es eben, weil man muas. Da kann man machen, was man will, da komm'ma her, da g'her ma hin, und wenn ihr wullt's a ganz allein, i bin gern im Arsch daham.
