The Lyrics
I’m on a shoal with you—
around us, brine.
The yacht dropped into the deep blue.
Now we’re lyin’
on these rocks, cryin’.
A small piece of land, it
has sea all around.
Not more than a sandspit,
but at least we managed not to drown.
Now on the shoal, we two
with no lifeline;
I whine.
What to do?
I ask you.
Feelin’ blue
near deep blue. . .
got no scow
to get from here
to land; we can’t see
it anyhow.
I’m teary.
We can’t toast “skol!” with brew,
much less with wine.
around us, brine.
The yacht dropped into the deep blue.
Now we’re lyin’
on these rocks, cryin’.
A small piece of land, it
has sea all around.
Not more than a sandspit,
but at least we managed not to drown.
Now on the shoal, we two
with no lifeline;
I whine.
What to do?
I ask you.
Feelin’ blue
near deep blue. . .
got no scow
to get from here
to land; we can’t see
it anyhow.
I’m teary.
We can’t toast “skol!” with brew,
much less with wine.

John, is there more than one version of the OS? I finally downloaded it, but having trouble following the parodies. You seem to have extra lines here and there...?
