HAMBURGER BOAT

It seemed like an emergency happened.
The lights were all out;
The major world leaders were having a political bout...

Over missiles and bombs.
They were fighting like boys,
Each one insisting the other put away his toys...

While everyone was fussing and fighting
On the Hamburger Boat,
Taking too lightly the serious warnings I wrote.

It seemed like such a sad, sad sight.
With tears in my eyes,
I reached up to turn out the light,

Till you came along and said:
"Honey, don't turn out the lights
Just 'cause you're sad and they laugh at your warnings and fight."

And you came along and took me in your arms
Through the cold, the dark and the rain.
We got off the boat and climbed up the hill
To the light of a brighter day,
To the light of a brighter day.

While everyone was fussing and fighting
On the Hamburger Boat,
Taking too lightly the serious warnings I wrote.
Will you stay behind with the crew on the Hamburger Boat?
