Boat Gig - Tribal Tech

I’ve been playing my drums for 25 years

Like to bang 'em real loud, then drink a few beers

I got the chops to rock you, but I can’t hide or run

'Cause I’m playing Barry Manilow, and having no fun

I’m on my boat gig (boat gig)

I’m on my boat gig, yeah (cruise ship)

Making the bucks

Wearing my tux for you

Now I’m big and mean, and muscle-bound

Got the baddest set of drums in the whole damn town

I can slap my snare drum, knock your head right off

But I’m using my brushes, 'cause I gotta play soft

I’m on my boat gig (boat gig)

I’m on my boat gig, yeah (cruise ship)

Making the bucks

Wearing my tux for you

Now, the boat leaves the dock at about a quarter to nine

Filled with yuppies dressed proper and fine

A wedding reception is tonight’s affair

Who got married?

I don’t care, no, no

Well, you know I gotta feed the kids, gotta clothe da wife

Nothing but heartbreak, trouble, and strife

So, until I make it, and become a big star

You wanna put a little money in my tipping jar?

I’m on my boat gig (boat gig)

I’m on my boat gig, yeah (cruise ship)

Making the bucks

Wearing my tux for you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
