Iowa's Training Course ~ Song

Let's get down to business
To defeat the planes.
Did they send me tugboats
When I asked for guns?
You're the saddest bunch I've ever met,
But you can bet before were through,
Mister I'll make a ship out of you.

Tranquil as a liner,
But on fire within.
Once you find your center,
You are sure to win.
You're a spineless pale pathetic fleet
And you haven't got a clue.
Somehow I'll make a ship out of you.

Destroyer: I'm never gonna catch my breath.

Submarine: Say goodbye to those who knew me.

Cruiser: Why was I a fool in school for cutting gym?

Frigate: This guy's got them scared to death!

Carrier: Hope he doesn't see right through me.

battleship: Now I really wish that I knew how to swim!

(Be a ship)
We must be swift as the coursing cruiser,
(Be a ship)
With all the force of a great battleship,
(Be a ship)
With all the strength of a raging carrier,
Mysterious as the dark side of a sub

Time is racing toward us,
'Til the planes arrive.
Heed my every order,
And you might survive.
You're unsuited for the rage of war,
So pack up, go home, you're through.
How could I make a ship out of you?

(Be a ship)
We must be swift as the coursing cruiser,
(Be a ship)
With all the force of a great battleship,
(Be a ship)
With all the strength of a raging carrier,
Mysterious as the dark side of a sub

(Be a ship)
We must be swift as the coursing cruiser,
(Be a ship)
With all the force of a great battleship,
(Be a ship)
With all the strength of a raging carrier,
Mysterious as the dark side of a sub
