Am Here I am again in the ship's post officeG I want to send a telegramBm Send it to the captainEm Asking where the hell I am [Verse]Am I've been on this luxury cruiseG For twenty five years or moreBm And I've just begun to wonderEm Where we're headed for [Chorus]G D And the Band keeps playingAm American songs from 1973G D Getting wise to the officer's liesAm That we've even got a countryG D You say we're independentAm And we've even got the right to chooseG D Well we're sick of doing nothingD We'd like some workD We'd like some workD We'd like some work to do [Instrumental]Am G Em G Am G AmAm Swimming pools, the cocktail partiesG You keep us plied with drinkBm But when we cruised through South East AsiaContinues after the adEm It made us stop and thinkA We never take on passengersG Though we seem to have lots of roomBm And I can't escape the notion captainEm That this is a floating tomb [Chorus]G D And the Band keeps playingAm American songs from 1973G D Getting wise to the officer's liesAm That we've even got a countryG D You say we're independentAm And we've even got the right to chooseG D Well we're sick of doing nothingD We'd like some workD We'd like some workD We'd like some work to doA Some of us have calculatedG We must be short of oilBm Someone mentioned fissionEm And blood began to boilA The passengers are restless, captainG This is how they feelBm Angry at how it came to be youEm Who sits beside the wheel [Chorus]G D And the Band keeps playingAm American songs from 1973G D Getting wise to the officer's liesAm That we've even got a countryG D You say we're independentAm And we've even got the right to chooseG D Well we're sick of doing nothingD We'd like some workD We'd like some workD We'd like some work to do N.C And the band keeps playing the Imperial Waltz From far across the sea N.C Not a long way from discontent N.C To open mutinyG D You say we're independentAm And we've even got the right to chooseG D Well we're sick of being passengersD We've got some workD We've got some workD We've got some work to do
