Fix The Boat Or Swim

by Abney Park

on Ancient World (2012)

b>Spoken sample:
Well, what's in the river music tonight? Padgett? Padgett? (?)

Sung:
You've got to fix the boat
Or get out and swim
You don't sit there, bitching, sinking
Clean up that mess you're in!

Don't waste another minute
With your howls and moans
You don't do yourself no favors
Pick up those lazy bones

When your river's run its course
The jungle vines are thick
When the native beastie's hungry
Better pick a larger stick

Don't stand on deck bemoaning
All that you might lose
When the crocodiles are hungry
Now's not the time to snooze

When your river's run its course
The jungle vines are thick
When the native beastie's hungry
Better pick a larger stick

You can't stand on deck bemoaning
All that you might lose
If the crocodiles are hungry
It's not the time to snooze

You've got to fix the boat
Or get out and swim
Don't sit there, bitching, sinking
Clean up that mess you're in!

Don't waste another minute
With your howls and moans
You don't do yourself no favors
Pick up those lazy bones
