P.T. 109

de Jimmy Dean

In '43 they put to sea thirteen men and kennedy
Aboard the pt 109 to fight the brazen enemy
And off the isle of olasana in the straight beyond naru
A jap destroyer in the night cut the 109 in two.

Smoke and fire upon the sea
Everywhere they looked was the enemy
The heathen gods of old japan
Yeah, they had the best of a mighty good men.

And on the coast of kolobangara looking through this telescope
Australian evans saw the battle for the crew had little hope
Two were dead and some were wounded all were clinging to the bow
Fightin' fire and flightin' water tryin' to save themselves somehow.

Smoke and fire upon the sea
Everywhere they looked was the enemy
The heathen gods of old japan
Yeah, they had the best of a mighty good men.

Mcmahon 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 skipper couldn't leave him a man to die alone at sea
And with a strap between his teets he towed the irishman through to sea.

Smoke and fire upon the sea
Everywhere they looked was the enemy
The heathen gods of old japan
Yeah, they had the best of a mighty good men.

He led his men through waters dark rocky reefs and hungry sharks
He braved the enemy's bayonets a thirty eight hung round his neck
Four more days and four more nights a rescue boat pulled into sight
The pt 109 was gone but kennedy and his crew lived on.

Now who could guess who could possibly know
That same man named kennedy would be the leader of the nation
Be the one to take command
The pt 109 was gone but kennedy lived to fight again.

Smoke and fire upon the sea everywhere they looked was the enemy
But jfk and his crew lived on
Which proves it's hard to get the best of a man named john
(big john, big john, big john, big john, big john, big john...)
