EXPLOITING
By Lord Caresser
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus, so baby,
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus.
I want to go roaming around the world,
I mean touching all seas from north to south pole,
To Greenland, Finland, Iceland and all,
Then to the Niagara water falls, so darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus.
Yes, to every isthmus, to every lake, you could believe,
I want to be like Sir Francis Drake,
Vasco Nunez, Vasco De Gama,
And Columbus who ‘discovered’ America, so baby.
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus.
Even like Lord Nelson, I’d like to be,
I mean the ruler of the air, the land and the sea,
To acquire power wherever I go,
Like Don Antonio de Berrio, so darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus.
Then I’ll be famous like Wellington,
Or our first Governor, the great Chacon,
I mean the Himalayan mountains, I’ll even score,
Then see the Nawab of Singapore, so baby,
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus.
I don’t mind if I am all alone
But I’ll take the chance through the Canal Zone
And then to the deserts in Sahara
To see my grandparents in Africa, so darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus.
Then every school child will be taught the name
Caresser, who acquired unrivaled fame
Even bolder and more courageous
Than the old man Christopher Columbus, so darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, dou-dou darling,
Buy me a Zeppelin, you could believe,
Or a steamboat and then I must,
Be an exploiter like Columbus.

A Note From The Gull
Thank you, Lord Caresser.
"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.
Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.
Mweh ka allay!
