Lyrics

[Intro] Take her down! [Chorus] Swish, swish, swish, the craft is diving Straight for a case of native wine Let's get boosted to the skies Then go down and never rise We're the cruising boys of Sub Division Nine [Verse 1] It was midnight on the fourth that we left the golden North And, Lord, but it was hard to break away But we'd drunk up all the rye, and the bars had all gone dry So there wasn't any reason there to stay [Pre-Chorus] Take her down! [Chorus] Swish, swish, swish, the craft is diving Straight for a case of native wine Let's gеt boosted to the skies Thеn go down and never rise We're the cruising boys of Sub Division Nine [Verse 2] Then we went to Hula town where the girls have eyes of brown Their skirts of grass were waving in the breeze But we were mowing through the grass when some interfering brass Told our wives that they should join us overseas [Pre-Chorus] Take her down! [Chorus] Swish, swish, swish, the craft is diving Straight for a case of native wine Let's get boosted to the skies Then go down and never rise We're the cruising boys of Sub Division Nine [Verse 3] For Guantanamo we steered, but when the smoke had cleared Not a single girl was there to see For their parents got the news Sub Division Nine was loose They had locked 'em up and thrown away the key [Pre-Chorus] Take her down! [Chorus] Swish, swish, swish, the craft is diving Straight for a case of native wine Let's get boosted to the skies Then go down and never rise We're the cruising boys of Sub Division Nine [Verse 4] Then our fleet continued on to St. Thomas and St. John It was evening when we landed on the shore But next morning, just 'fore nine, they had changed the railroad sign Saying, "These aren't the Virgin Islands anymore" [Pre-Chorus] Take her down! [Chorus] Swish, swish, swish, the craft is diving Straight for a case of native wine Let's get boosted to the skies Then go down and never rise We're the cruising boys of Sub Division Nine
