Since the floods come down an' the Ark was new,
An' Cap'n Noah signed on 'is crew ...
There ain't been a ship 'as sailed the seas,
But someone's been there as said words like these:
'Oh, you orter 'ave seen my las' ship,'
For she was the gal to go,
Round ol' Cape Stiff in a 'undred days
From Cali-for-ni-o!
She was a beauty, she was a ship,
Fifteen knots was 'er usual clip ...
You orter 'ave seen 'er carryin' sail,
Oh, she was a beauty, my las' ship - my ol' ship - my bes' ship
A flier from stern to bow,
An' I'd give the 'arf o' my pay, God's truth,
To be back in that ol' ship now!

The Last Ship.
