about

Well, it's true. These ships are kind of a pain in the ass.

lyrics

Way over in a shipyard facing the North Atlantic
They’re workin’ on some vessels to survey the seas
Gotta find some money to buy some brand new ships
Designed by a committee? What the hell is this?
“She’s too long” heard from Woods Hole Mass
And still too deep after they chopped off her ass

Later in the cycle after they made four
Everybody’s wond’rin why they’d want one more
Of these complex beasts that suck up twice the gas
As all the other vessels that were used in the past
From shipyard straight to drydock for a year or more
Will the Lasker be a lemon like her sisters before?

Everybody’s scrambling trying to find the glitch
That quickly put the breaks on this brand new bitch
Captain pulls all nighters and the crew does too
Professional seafarers and they’ll see this through
Hope they clean the power and get her in the clear
So we can sail this FSV more than one week a year
