With apologies to the composer of 'The Sloop John B'!
"We sailed on the sloop 'Southern V'
Grandpa Bill and me
Round Nassau town we did roam
Couldn't go out at nights
Cause the drug gangs like to fight
Kept our money in a safe place 'n
Should've left my jewels at home
So haul up Southern V's sail
See how the mainsail sets (this is an 'in' joke for those travelling with us!)
Should I send for the dentist ashore,
Or spend my money on rum?
But when a filling 'done gone'
There's nothing for it, 'mon'
But to open up wide
For the dentist who did her training 'back home' (Waterloo U.)
We've been to 'Paradise' now, you see,
Ole Capt'n Billy 'n me
Around fabled 'Atlantis' we did roam
The riches did astound us
The casino did confound us
But the mega-yachts in the marina
Didn't make it feel like home.
