YOUR END OF THE BOAT IS SINKING

 They say the planet’s warming.

They say we must reform.

But ask the folks in Norway;

It’s nicer when it’s warm.

 

Besides it’s only science,

The data and Al Gore

Who say we’ll melt the icecaps

If we heat up much more.

 

We’re raking record profits

And warming up the Earth

And as the seas are rising,

So is our net worth.

 

The rising tide is lifting

All boats out on the sea

And if our boat starts leaking

That doesn’t worry me.

 

CHORUS:

 

Your end of the boat is sinking.

At our end we’re drinking a toast

To all the apostles of burning up fossils

And putting the Earth on to roast.

 

Your end of the boat is sinking.

At our end we’re thinking although

We’re all going down,

You’ll be first to drown

And we’ll have more toys when we go.

 

So, let us make our money

No taxes, free and clear.

The government won’t need them

When End of Days draws near.

 

If Florida goes under

And Gore was on the mark

Then we can use our profits

Upgrading deck chairs on the ark.

 

CHORUS:

 

Your end of the boat is sinking.

At our end we’re drinking a toast

To all the apostles of burning up fossils

And putting the Earth on to roast.

 

Your end of the boat is sinking.

At our end we’re thinking although

We’re all going down

You’ll be first to drown

And we’ll have more toys when we go.

 

CODA:

When we all go down

You’ll be first to drown

And we’ll have more toys when we go.
