Bless 'em All - Corvettes

Bless 'em all, bless 'em all,
These bloody corvettes are too small.
In a rough sea they'll heave and they'll pitch
They'll make you as sick as a son-of-a-bitch
And it's up on the railing you'll sprawl,
And spew up that good alcohol,
You'll finish the war on this one-funneled whore
So cheer up, my lads, bless 'em all.

From: Songs From the Front and Rear, Hopkins
Note: Corvettes were small ships, measuring 200 by 33 feet wide.
  The US called them subchasers. RG
