 Send "Pt-109" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

In '43 they Set to sea
13 men and
Kennedy
Aboard the PT 109
To fight the
Brazen enemy
On the isle of ol lusana
in
the strait beyond nehru
A Jap deatroyer in the
night
Cut the '109 in
two.

CHORUS:
Smokin fire upon the
sea
Everywhere they looked was the
enemy
the heathen gods of old Japan
Yeah,
the thought they had the best of a mighty good
man

On the coast, commanderos, lookin thru
this periscope
Australian niven saw the
battle
For the crew had little hope
two
were dead, some were wounded, all were clinging
to the bow
Fightin fire, fightin water, trying
to save their lives
somehow.

CHORUS:
Smokin fire upon the
sea
Everywhere they looked was the
enemy
the heathen Gods of old Japan
Yeah,
the thought they had the best of a mighty good
man

Mac Me hun, the irishman, was burned
so badly he couldn't swim
leave me here, go on
he said, cause if you don't we'll all be
dead
the PT's skipper wouldn't leave him, a
man to die alone at sea
with his strap,
between his teeth, he towed the irishman to the
sea.

CHORUS:
Smokin fire upon the
sea
everywhere they looked was the
enemy
the heathen gods of old Japan
they
thought they had the best of a mighty good
man

He led his men thru water's
Dark
rocky reefs and hungry skarks
braved
the enemy's bayonets
a .38 around his
neck
4 more days, 4 more nights,
a recue
boat pulled into sight
the PT 109 was
gone,
but Kennedy and his crew lived
on

So who could Guess, and who could
possibly know
that this same man named
Kennedy, would,
be the leader of a
nation,
be the one to take command,
the PT
109 was gone but Kennedy lived to fight
again,

Smokin fire upon the
sea,
Everywhere they looked was the
enemy,
but JFK and his crew lived on,
which
proves it's hard to get get the best of a man
named John
Big John
Big John
Big John
