Twas a cold summer's day, we woke after noon When a terrible tragedy occurred on our ship Could not work out what was going wrong The crews boot seemed dry, they were out of tune in song
Alas! Rummy Rackers was nowhere to be seen Couldn’t remember where he had last been Swiftly we turned and started to descend Hope he’s alright and hasn’t met his end
Drinking’s no fun when it's all said and done A crew’s not a crew when you’re missing someone The sun’s going down, the day's almost over Neil’s lost out there and what if he’s sober
We grabbed the map and retraced our course A tricky task stood in front of us all Each bar we checked, as bare as the last No sign of our crew mate and time’s running out fast
Alas! Rummy Rackers we hope you’re still around We’ll search forever until you are found Does any crew know where he may be Maybe we’ll search over Germany
Drinking’s no fun when it’s all said and done A crew’s not a crew when you’re missing someone The sun’s going down the day's almost over Neil’s lost out there and what if he’s sober
