The Lyrics

The name of the ship that hit the Francis Scott Key bridge birthed this song very easily. The lyrics just wrote themselves.
Hello, Dali, well hello, Dali
It's too bad you didn’t stay where you belong
You hit a swell, Dali
I can tell, Dali
You're still listing, you're still drifting
You're still ramming strong

We feel the bridge swaying
While the pier’s splaying
As the heavy metal beams come tum’bling down
So, take the rap, fellas
Sell those beams for scrap, fellas
Dali'll never come back here again


Hello, Dali, well hello, Dali
It's too bad you didn’t stay where you belong
You hit a swell, Dali
I can tell, Dali
You're still listing, you're still drifting
You're still ramming strong

We feel the bridge swaying
While the pier’s splaying
As the heavy metal beams come tum’bling down
So, golly gee, fellas
No more Francis Scott Key, fellas
Dali please just go away
Dali won't you sail away
Dali'll never come back here again

Wow, I almost missed this one. This is REALLY good. And by "missed" I mean "How did I not see your parody AND how did I not make the connection between "Dali" and "Dolly"?

Seeing as how you got this subject covered, try this one ... "Oh say, cant you see .. that pier on your left" (Get on it, ;-D)
