Oceana Roll - from 'Two Weeks With Love'
Billy Mccoy was a musical boy
On the Cruiser Alabama he was there at the piana
Like a fish down in the sea, oh when he'd rattle off some harmony
Every night out on the ocean he would get that raggy notion
Start that syncopated motion lovingly
No one could sleep way out there in the deep
When Billy cut loose out at sea
(release)
Each fish and worm... Begins to twist & squirm
The ship starts in a dip and does a corkscrew turn
You see that smoke so black sneak from that old smokestack
It's floatin' right to heaven and it won't come back
Now here and there you'll see a stool and chair
A-slippin' 'round the cabin shoutin' 'I don't care!'
And then the hammock starts a-swingin' & the bell begins a-ringin'
While he's sittin' at that piana... There on the Alabama
Playin' the Oceana Roll

Every time he sits down at the piana stool
People start a-shoutin' 'You're a playin' fool!'
Cause he is the master of the razzmatazz
He's known to everyone as Mr. Jazz
When he gets it goin' with a real hot break
Even Davy Jones begins to shim and shake
Oh proudly you'll declare, that he's a fair
What a lot of music he can make
So listen here, and lend an ear
So listen here and lend an ear and lend an ear
Doo-doot doo, doo doo doo doo-doot doo
Slippin' round the cabin shoutin' 'I don't care!'
And then the hammock starts a-swingin' & the bell begins a-ringin'
While he's sittin' at that piana... There on the Alabama
Playin' the Oceana Roll
