[VERSE]
Human flotsam
Ain't two words
That you likely like to see
But a sneaky German U-boat
Left a nasty little present
For the ol' Britannic and me
[Chorus]
Well, I'm a propeller!
I ain't a violent feller!
Choppin' people up ain't my scene
But the Iceberg Charlie
Put the pedal to the metal
And what happened still haunts my dreams
[VERSE]
Oh, well-a
Chop! Chop! Chop!
[SCREAMING IN BACKGROUND]
And-a
Scream! Scream! Scream!
[SCREAMING CONTINUES]
Bodies floating in the sea!
I said-a
Chop! Chop! Chop!
And-a
Scream! Scream! Scream!
How'd this blood get all over me?
[SOBBING]
[Chorus]
I'm a propeller
An awfully sorry feller!
And all I ever wanted was a life of luxury
But World War I, it ruined my fun!
My life is misery
