There once was a ship that put to sea

The name of the ship was the Shahid Bagheri,

The ship blew up, her bow dipped down

Oh, blow, torpedo boys, blow!

—

Soon may a submarine come

And blow us all to kingdom come!

One day, when the sinking is done

We’ll swim to shore and go

—

She had just begun to launch her drones

When she was sent to lay with Davey Jones

The crew all cried out in fear

Knew they’d never make it home.

—

Soon may a submarine come

And blow us all to kingdom come!

One day, when the sinking is done

We’ll float to shore and go

—

Just as a missile hit her bow

We knew we were really boned now

All hands to the rafts, jump into the water!

But the boat went down below

—

Soon may a submarine come

And blow us all to kingdom come!

One day, when the sinking is done

We’ll paddle to shore and go

—

No drones were launched, no rockets fired

No infidels found, no targets acquired

Our boat held together with bailing wire

And watch our magazine blow!

—

Soon may a submarine come

And blow us all to kingdom come!

One day, when the sinking is done

We’ll row to shore and go

The Bagheri’s half a league under water

Sent to the bottom by somebody’s daughter

A young lass flying an F-18

Sent our drone ship down below

—

Soon may a submarine come

And blow us all to kingdom come!

One day, when the sinking is done

We’ll drift to shore and go

—

As far as I know, our fleet is gone

Blown to hell before the break of dawn

Tehran won’t accept our calls

And my raft just sprung a leak!

—

Soon may a submarine come

And blow us all to kingdom come!

One day, when the sinking is done

We’ll swim to shore and go
