[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
