Send "Battle Ship" Ringtone to Cell

Three miles off the coast of Beirut
New Jersey's guns get ready to shoot
Take a walk down the firing room
Fire one it's shakedown cruise
Battle ship Battle ship
See the sailor boys dressed in blue
Cheer the change to make the news
Send the shell down the spiral groove
Bombs away it's a shakedown cruise
Yeah
Battle ship battle ship

Three miles off the coast of Beirut
New Jersey's guns get ready to shoot
Take a walk down the firing room
Fire one it's shakedown cruise
Battle ship Battle ship
See the sailor boys dressed in blue
Cheer the change to make the news
Send the shell down the spiral groove
Bombs away it's a shakedown cruise
Yeah
Battle ship battle ship

    General Comment:did you know. that paddy from cambourne. well. its embarrassing but i feel you should know. he worships busted. its tragic. we had to put him down poor fella. seriously tho, that thing bout blow job park is true. they were'nt allowed to call it that, like they originally were'nt allowed to call Party On Your Pussy. They had to call it Special Secret Song Inside. hows that for a chili fan? paddy? u rat bastard.

    General Comment:isnt fiddly flea a big noob i mean he really musnt know anything bout the chilis. thats blatantly a metaphor. maybe fiddly flea should listen more and more closely-imagine calling himself a real chilis fan and taking the name of the holy flea!
