Paroles de Abandon Ship!

Oh, the heptagenarians got behind the decks while the skeleton crew went through the motions. It was only the medication that was keeping them erect. Yeh, the devil got the best tunes so god knows what comes next. And it's difficult to think of anything less magic than the aged in pursuit of the hip. At the lifeboat station there's a mounting panic... they're going overboard for this one - abandon ship! Oh, the humanitarians took themselves below while they tried to debate the latest motion; meanwhile only the medication served to keep them on the go. So it's devil take the hindmost: we sail on the sloop John Doe. And it's difficult to think of anything that's factual now we find ourselves in Alzheimer's grip; so at disembarkation it's no names, no pack-drill, we're all anonymous on this one - abandon ship!
