The Lisbon Maru Barman, I know you well, you are a kind of crew. You’ve hauled in halves of ordinary and legion chasers too. So listen to me barman, listen to this drunk. I was on that ship and it really did get sunk. You see I was a seaman, a seaman on a warship, and I know you don’t believe me because you never saw it. But I’m fifty years your senior, I’ve fought waist deep in mud, and I’ve swum with severed heads in a crimson tide of blood. I told you it was true, I told you it was true, I told you it was true: The Lisbon Maru. I was a prisoner of war, caught on The China Sea, but never marked as such, bombed by my own country. I was left to swim amongst the corpses and the sharks, but somehow I am here with your beer and cheap remarks. I told you it was true, I told you it was true, I told you it was true: The Lisbon Maru. It’s in the news today, so I’d like to hear your views today. Barman, I know you well, you are a kind of crew. You’ve hauled in halves of ordinary and legion chasers too. So listen to me barman, listen to this drunk. I was on that ship and it really did get sunk. I told you it was true, I told you it was true, I told you it was true: The Lisbon Maru.
