STEAMIN' Around and around we go, cruising on Market Time, No news, no girls, no sports. no beer, on dehydrates each day we dine. Watching movies so old, all the actors are gone, Looking for the elusive Viet Cong. The Green Hornet is dead, some radar gear down, One junk to search we have found. A missing plug, a water jet, LT White for sure is all wet. From the IC Room it's the same old tape, We hear' rock and roll 'tll we're going ape.

She rolls 20 degrees in a moderate sea, With the wind so calm, you can't find a lee. Unreping close in, we have had our fill, We do it at a distance for a flag hoist drill. Wallowing ten degrees starboard and port, Each time a disaster we do court. Santa. came early to the Lowe this year, . Bringing no Hong Kong for his wishes and cheer. So standby Kaohsiung for here comes the Lowe, Mfg , Zhi Q v Qi' Zflvsg gf 56149 'Q 19:31. 535555: :os ',-f rifffifvffff ?fr:W'?,5', 35324-Qs.-225 qui 115545, rc 7 v H ' gy 1 'lin ls fi? rf . . . . - Arriving beat and thirsty with two paydays in tow. ,,, M i g , XA W ii .i Q VX Y if 1.
