Finally made the plane into Paris,
Honey mooning down by the Seine.
Peter Brown called to say,
«You can make it O.K.,
You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain».
Christ you know it ain’t easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They’re gon-na crucify me.

Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton,
Talking in our beds for a week.
The newspapers said, «Say what you doing in bed?»
I said, «We’re only trying to get us some peace».
Christ you know it ain’t easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They’re gon-na crucify me.

Fifty acorns tied in a sack.

A tale of a fateful trip,

That started from this tropic port,

Aboard this tiny ship.
4 -4 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 5 4
The mate was a mighty sailin’ lad,
4 -4 -6 -6 -6 6
The Skipper brave and sure,
5 -4 -6 -6 -6 6 7 7
Five passengers set sail that day,
6 6 -5 5 4 -4
For a three hour tour,
5 -5 5 4 -4

The weather started getting rough,

The tiny ship was tossed.

If not for the courage of the fearless crew

The Minnow would be lost.
