Nusret

To the tune of [George Washington] by Brad Neely:

*Never forgeeeeeeeeeeeet*
Nusret
Nusret
Fifteen knots, three sixty tons
Opponents beware
Opponents beware
She's coming
She's coming
She's coming

One by one, in a line, she drops twenty-six mines
In the dark of the night, without even a sign
In the Dardanelles Strait, did the Allied fleet
Lose three ships of the line in a crushing defeat

Here comes Nusret in control
Battlecruisers flee from her shore patrol
Cruising up the coastline, seeming quite benign
She's coming
She's coming
She's coming

Nusret
Nusret
Twenty-one knots straight outta the sun
Mine Mine The Dardanelles
She's coming
She's coming
She's coming

Sue me if I'm an ironclad, but if she's anywhere near I'm gonna run like mad
Got a bow on her bow, really state of the art
She'll blow you apart
She'll blow you apart

She'll spare cruisers but not the battlecruisers
She'll spare cruisers but not the battlecruisers
She'll spare cruisers but not the battlecruisers
She'll spare cruisers but not the battlecruisers
*sinking battlecruiser noises*

She had a hold full of frogmen sporting thousand mile stares
Dropped a minefield in Toulon
and laid Scapa Flow bare
She appears like a legion coming out of the mist
Suddenly you find yourself trapped in their midst

Nusret
Nusret
Twelve thousand strong she was never alone
The present beware
The future beware
She's coming
She's coming
She's coming

Did I mention her katies
She got them in the eighties
If you stood on her deck you'd get some gamma ray burns
I heard she was responsible for, like, Operation Crossroads
She once dropped the big one. In the Gulf of Mexico. 66 million years ago.
