Yellow Submarine

Songwriter: Laurie Rostholder
Gaggle: Seattle
War & Peace

On the oceans wild and free

Sail some sca-a-ry submarines

It’s the Tridents armed with nukes

Ghostly ri-i-sing from the sea.

We would like them all disarmed

Before anyone is harmed

We are tired of living in fear

With massive armaments so very near.

Chorus: We all pay for Trident submarines

Trident submarines, Trident submarines

We all pay for Trident submarines

Trident submarines, Trident submarines

And the people on the base

Seem to think that it’s a safe place,

So en-vir-onmentally sound,

Tell us they are green and renowned.

Chorus: We all pay (etc.)

Now we have (now we have)
A bit of hope (a bit of hope)
That the Tri-i-dents (the Tridents
May disappear (may disappear).
Until they do (until they do)
We’ll carry on (we’ll carry on)
Objecting to-o-o (objecting to)
These massive bombs (these massive bombs)

The-e threat (the threat)
Mu-ust end (must end)
Of all these nuclear (these nuclear)
Wea-a-pons (weapons).
Put the Trident subs (Trident subs)
To re-e-est (to rest)
In peace (in peace ha ha!).

Second Chorus: We resist the Trident submarines

Trident submarines, Trident submarines

We resist the Trident submarines

Trident submarines, Trident submarines
