lyrics

He’s just a lowly Trumpeteer
a tin pan tympani unclear
he’ll tell you the truths round somewhere here
and blow his brains out finding it

she’s as pretty as a chandelier
heart of gold skin crystal clear
but he’s afraid to ever get near
lest she die from hearing him!

So he spends most days down on the pier
the oceans only balladeer
and he spends his nights just drinking beer
in Prince o' Whales tavern

well momma she was a submachiner
papa he’s just a freight dock cleaner
but they share a bed and a nice rice steamer
in Prince o' Whales tavern!

now I’m gonna be your Trumpeteer
honey you be my chandelier
hang in my heart
ill blow in your ear
and when it all goes down we’ll be dancing

well the queen of England and the king of Spain
die polizie got nothing on us again
and when it all goes down
well be hangin ‘round
in Prince o' Whales tavern!
