Navigating Flood Regions

"Spy!" shouted the crew, "Let's string him up"
 Wise off to the captain, now where's my coffee cup?
 And it's been an adventurous day
 The ship floats, but it won't float away
 Let's us stay
 Don your favorite costume, here we go
 Belt a song from your lungs real long and slow
 And you're doing a wonderful job
 Shaping up with a competent mob
 It's your job
 It's as long as wide and just beginning
 Been around for eons just like me
 Grab your money and let's go for all the winnings
 Cast your soul into the jagged sea
 It's the number on your head
 Now you're dead
 Stuff you down the barrel of a cannon
 Let you see the world as something to see
 Take you to the corners of the playground
 Let you watch the traffic through the trees
 It's the number on your head
 Now you're dead
 And we'll run as the war trumpet blows
 And the judge with the list of no-shows
