Our Economic Plague Ship (Musical Tribute)

Long-time reader mab offers the following comment in this post:

I'm watching CNBC. What's the deal? The "experts" keep blaming our economic ills on the cruise ship Queen Elizabeth!

In my opinion, this really deserves its own Christmas ship musical tribute!



Sing along! You know the tune!

Out in the Harbor

Out in the harbor, cruise ship ills
In through the dust mask, doctor bills
Down with economies, it destroys
Spreading little bugs, with sick bellboys

Oh, no, no! Who could've known?
Oh, no, no! Who wouldn't groan?
Out in the harbor, sick, sick, sick
In through the dust mask, it's ick, ick, ick

First came the sickness of little Bill
Oh dear God ships make him ill
Gave him a virus to choke and wheeze
One that fevered him to high degrees

Oh, no, no! Who could've known?
Oh, no, no! Who wouldn't groan?
Out in the harbor, sick, sick, sick
In through the dust mask, it's ick, ick, ick

Next came the sickness of little Mitt
Have we ever seen so much vomit?
Here was some fluid for what he lacked
Also a drug some say acts like crack

Oh, no, no! Who could've known?
Oh, no, no! Who wouldn't groan?
Out in the harbor, sick, sick, sick
In through the dust mask, it's ick, ick, ick

No day is complete without at least a little gallows humor. Sigh.

mab,

Hahaha! There you go with the puns. You know I can't resist!

The ship had our sick bay but it is now in stabled condition.

The vet assured us that our horse will make a full rotisserie. WTF! He already butchered the initial diagnosis with his unbridled optimism!

That war veteran was to meat us too, but he backed out when he saw our thorough bread rise from the deadpan in a rage of furry!

(Ann) Demeulemeester's entire collection was generously embellished with horse hair.

Horse (and goat) hair, wtf! Sounds like chicken of the cave. You gotta do what you gotta do. What will they think of next, wild hare?

Demeulemeester sounds German. I guess that makes Ann a wild herr!

mab,

Hahaha!

Demeulemeester sounds German.

Could be German for Drunken Master? Perhaps the coat comes with riding gear. Jackie chaps! ;)
