Way out at sea, there used to be
The Deep Horizon Oil Rig of BP
Deadlines had passed, the crew worked fast
On the Deep Horizon Oil Rig of BP

They needed time to do things right
But BP whined and put up a fight
They said we’ll be fine you will see
On the Deep Horizon Oil Rig of BP.

There’ll be no glitch, we will be rich
Said BP’s executives across the sea
Counting our cash, will be a smash
And we’ll live like kings, the way that life should be

They did sing and dance around
‘Til the rig blew up and went down
Beneath the sea, amid debris
Sunk the Deep Horizon Oil Rig of BP

The crew did shout and swim about
But eleven men went down to their graves
(They went down to their graves)
Now there’s no joy for some poor girls and boys
Knowing their dad’s beneath the waves
(Dad’s beneath the waves)

Now BP’s unhappy and they see
Their profits from the lawsuits they can’t save
And in the sea, catastrophe
From the Deep Horizon Oil Rig ‘neath the waves.
