[Verse 1]
It was a dark and stormy night
And the ship was rockin' on the open sea
Tossing and turning and rolling in our bunks
The first mate the boatswain and me
From Bristol to the Ivory Coast
Then on to Jamaica
Down in the hold there is no sound
We're taking rock n' roll to America
[Chorus]
Bless my soul what's wrong with me
I forgot to forget to remember
Bless my soul what's wrong with me
I forgot to forget to remember
[Verse 2]
The king of England waits in exile
In the crack fields of Bolivia
The burning white house, the shining path
Back to reconquer Americay
Eric Burdon stunned in Mississippi
On the Animal's US tour
Mardi gras Indian segregation
1964
[Chorus]
Bless my soul what's wrong with me
I forgot to forget to remember
Bless my soul what's wrong with me
I forgot to forget to remember
[Verse 3]
Up the river wah wah throbbing
Heavy artillery
Blackface painted floodlit jungle
Gringo military
Any old army high on drugs
Fighting the rock n' roll war
Truth justice and led zeppelin
Heavy metal marine corps...
[Chorus]
Bless my soul what's wrong with me
I forgot to forget to remember
Bless my soul what's wrong with me
I forgot to forget to remember
Bless my soul what's wrong with me
I forgot to forget to remember
Bless my soul what's wrong with me
I forgot to forget to remember
