lyrics

Feeling the tradewinds blow
We set sail let the fickle sea float

Stuck in a copper boat
On a sea where money floats
We went down, down, down
We found an undersea town
Where the gold just weighs you down

Saved by a razorfish
Headed back where the Earth and sea kiss
Doomed to drown, drown, drown,
Reach the sound, sound, sound

With all those people who are out of touch
Who have spent too much of their monies that they saved
Tradewinds blow me down

Aimed for the Milky Way,
Then got stuck in a traffic delay
Gridlock around the block,
no one here gives a—
Priced out of my home,
To a different zone
Left me all alone

It's tough on the toxic wind,
I'll just take up wrestling

Fight like the nuclear man, 
Overturn the city plan
Make a stash of cash,
Buy my old home back
Throw the mayor in the sea,
Win the W.C.W. belt

Let all the people get to know they can come and go
To the places of their choice
Tradewinds blow me down
