Battleship (a ballad)

(Sung to whatever tune is in your head right now)

You try and try
To win my heart
Each clumsy attempt
A disgrace
A guessing game
In no small part
No strategy
So out of place


C4 you miss
F3’s a hit
But you’ll never sink
My Battleship
My Battleship

Destroyers yes
My subs can go
Boats, vessels
Short and long
Bu my heart’s safe
I surely know
My ship’s
Defences strong


C4 you miss
F3’s a hit
But you’ll never sink
My Battleship
My Battleship

Small skirmish won
You think you’re in
But let me tell you now

My Battleship
Still sails quite proud
You’ll never know just how


C4 you miss
F3’s a hit
But you’ll never sink
My Battleship
My Battleship
My Battleship
My Battleship
