The Little Gunner Boy
The cheerful holiday story of the little powder monkey who fought through the adversity of an irritable crew, only to save the day and earn their praise.
Gun, they told me, bang bang bang bang bang,
They all ignored my plea, bang bang bang bang bang,
I've never gunned before, bang bang bang bang bang,
Gun physics I deplore, bang bang bang bang bang,
band bang bang bang, bang bang bang bang,
My crew yelled at me, nag nag nag nag nag,
I blame the lag.
Powder Monkey, bang bang bang bang bang,
That's all I am you see, bang bang bang bang bang,
I tried to shoot the ships, bang bang bang bang bang,
I wasted all my clips, bang bang bang bang bang,
band bang bang bang, bang bang bang bang,
My crew yelled at me, nag nag nag nag nag,
I blame the lag.
Captain signaled, bang bang bang bang bang,
A ship off starboard side, bang bang bang bang bang,
I got some lucky hits, bang bang bang bang bang,
I blew them into bits, bang bang bang bang bang,
band bang bang bang, bang bang bang bang,
They commended me, bang bang bang bang bang,
Me and my gun.
