Battleship of Maine 
Battleship of Maine 
McKinley called for volunteers, I went and got my gun, First Spaniard I saw coming, I dropped my gun and run, It was all about that Battleship of Maine. 
cho: At war with that great nation Spain When I get back to Spain l want to honor my name, It was all about that Battleship of Maine. 
Why are you running, Are you afraid to die? The reason that I'm running Is because I cannot fly It was all about that Battleship of Maine. 
The blood was a-running And l was running too, I give my feet good exercise I had nothing else to do, It was all about that Battleship of Maine. 
When they were a'chasing me, I fell down on my knees, First thing I cast my eyes upon Was a great big pot of pea, It was all about that Battleship of Maine. 
The peas they were greasy, The meat it was fat. The boys was fighting Spaniards While I was fighting that, It was all about that Battleship of Maine.
