Lyrics

[Intro] One, two, three [Verse 1] I took a stairway straight to the top I kept on climbin', I never stopped to smell the rose That's just the way it goes I made a dollar, I tasted blood I needed water, I found a flood, oh my And I almost drank enough to die Took my Jon boat out to sea and the waves grew high [Chorus] S.O.S., now, can you help me? I'm takin' water on just about as fast as I can Could you lend me a hand? S.O.S., now, can you help me? I asked myself, how could anybody else understand This wasn't a part of my plan? I do the best that I can Mayday man [Verse 2] Thought it was easy, I'd seen it done Thought it would please me to make it to the other side I wasn't ready for the ride I felt the thunder rip through my sail It took me under, got swallowed by a whale, oh my I guess he saw that weakness in my eye Took me right out on out to sea and the waves grew high [Chorus] S.O.S., now, can you help me? I'm takin' water on just about as fast as I can Could you lend me a hand? S.O.S., now, can you help me? I asked myself, how could anybody else understand This wasn't a part of my plan? I do the best that I can Mayday man S.O.S., now, can you help me? I'm takin' water on just about as fast as I can Could you lend me a hand? S.O.S., now, can you help me? I asked myself, how could anybody else understand This wasn't a part of my plan? I do the best that I can Mayday man [Outro] Mayday man Mayday man Mayday man
