Where are they now?

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful dive.
They thought that they could take her deep and still come back alive.
The skipper, he was much to brave as he began his test;
He knew his crew and he knew his boat were better than the rest.

The mate said "Skip, I'm not so sure that this is a good idea."
The captain laughed right in his face: "You're showing too much fear."

They passed two hundred feet and then the hull gave a mighty creak.
The crew all cringed and closed they're eyes; the mate gave a wimpy "Squeak!"

Two-ten went by and the hull did groan, the guages all read "NO!"
Two-twenty came and the crew all cried; the captain he yelled "GO!"

At two-forty-five the pipes did burst, the crew began to cry;
The cook put a broiler on his head and said "We're gonna die!"

The water rose, the hull did groan, the first mate said "We're gone!"
The captain gave a shrug and said, "Hey, I could be wrong."

The ship sits on the bottom with no chance she'll ever fix.
And that's the sad, sad story of that poor S-36.
