DFU SONG: Yellow Submarine (Nagin's engineering breakthrough!...buses turned into submarines)

DFU SONGS | 9-2005 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

MIDI - YELLOW SUBMARINE

In the town of New Orleans
Was a mayor who possessed the means
He said to evacuate
It's too bad it was very late

Then he got on the TV
He looked like a clown to you and me
He had buses that were parked
Still today he is in the dark

Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines
Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines

He knew he must dodge the blame
Buses now are out of the game
They had floated like Ted's car

Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines
Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines

(brief musical break)

So the Dems play politics
Normal people they are making sick
That is always what they do
Like the Whigs, may they soon be through

Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines
Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines

Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines
Now the mayor has yellow submarines, yellow submarines, yellow submarines

[Michael Goldsberry]

ROTFLMAO!!!

[Gosh I love this neighborhood]

Oh my gosh, that is soooo funny.

[Nea Wood]

Floating like Ted's car...ROFL!

"We all live in a Nagin submarine" (or if you have the guts "we don't live 'cause of Nagin's submarines") would have been funnier and the phrase "Nagin submarine" might stick.

[phil112]

lol...it would be funnier if he hadn't cost lives doing it

[doug from upland]

I guess it is all in the ear of the beholder. The people don't live in the buses. The mayor turned his yellow buses into yellow submarines, and I thought that was fairly funny.

I'm not musically inclined so much of your efforts are wasted on me. I do enjoy seeing your ideas.

How about "Let's all live in a Nagin submarine!", since the housing stock has been destroyed?

[doug from upland]

Well, I did my version. Have a go at it.

[Sloth]

Clever.

[Itzlzha]

"We all drowmed 'cause of Nagin's Submarines, Nagin's Submarines, Nagin's Submarines!"

Apologies if this offends, buty I think it makes a statement.

[Itzlzha]

YEESH...let's try that again...WITH proper spelling!

"We all drowned 'cause of Nagin's Submarines, Nagin's Submarines, Nagin's Submarines!"

Again, apologies if this offends, but I think it makes a point.

Fellow Freepers:

At the suggestion of writer Michelle Malkin last Friday, I have cobbled together a blogsite called Texas Clearinghouse for Katrina Aid to serve as a clearinghouse for refugee efforts in Texas.

Texas is getting more refugees than any other state -- that's fine, we'll take them all -- but we need help providing them with food, clothing, and shelter.

If you are a refugee, you can information that will help you find relief. If you want to donate or volunteer, you can find someone who needs you.

Right now the site mostly covers Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas but I will add various churches, schools, and other charities in Lubbock and Austin tonight. My wife was down at Reunion Arena in Dallas yesterday handing out care packages and spiritually ministering to the refugees as a representative of her employer. She says that the situation is tragic and that there's a lot of work to be done. There are so many children who don't know where their parents are or even if their parents are still alive.

There are a lot of churches and other organizations in Texas that need help in dealing with the problem and I would appreciate it if you would get the word out.

Many thanks,

Michael McCullough

Thanks, Doug. Much better than I could.

[doug from upland]

Indeed. God rest their souls. We can do a lot of second guessing about lots of things. When all is said and done, this was a phenomenal assault of nature and shows how really small we are.

It is incomprehensible how people could have voluntarily stayed put. Maybe they have been through many years of hurricanes and thought this would be like the rest. It wasn't.
