Methinks I see a host of threads
Spreading their sails with glee
Down the Mudcat they do glide
All bound for the troubled Sea
Me thinks I see on each small thread
A few with hearts so brave
Going out to spread their tiny thread
And vanish in a cave
[Chorus]
And it's three and point five
Years that Mom's been posting strong
Even though the recent fix
Has made her number wrong
The freds, the Ralphs, the Legion
And the poetry as well
They've long defied that bitter Night
And kept dear MOAB swell!
Me thinks I've heard dear MOAB say
"My kids, we'll onward sail!"
Tho' Khandu falls behind our wake
And wallows like a whale
Me thinks I've heard her yet again
Say "Tweed has long passed out"
Yet our dear Mom is battling here
And spinning many a tale
[Chorus]
November's night brought such a sight
Twas never seen before
There were booze and songs and broken chords
A washing on the shore
There were many a lass "in trouble"
There was many a head was broke,
There were many a fine and hearty lad
Who had gave a cop a poke.
[Chorus]
