Thank you
Hey, suck it
We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well, I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home? Yeah, yeah
Well, I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
The first mate he got drunk
He broke in the captain's trunk
The constable had to come
And take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone? Yeah, yeah
Well, I feel so broke up
I wish I could go home
So hoist up the John B's sail (Hoist up the John B's sail)
See how the mainsail sets (See how the mainsail sets)
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home
Why don't they let me go home? Yeah, yeah
Well, I feel so broke up
I wish I could go home
The poor cook he got the fits
Threw away all my grits
Then he took and he ate up
All of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home? Yeah, yeah
This is the worst trip
I've ever been on

Thank you
Wow, that's pretty good, Carl
Thank you, thank you
We'd like to do the first slow song that The Beach Boys ever did
It's a sexy one, oh boy
Wish we'd turn off the laser beams up there
Beginning to sterilize us here
