      Ah those sea shanties:

      *In the town where I was born*
      *Lived a man who sailed the sea*
      *And he told us of his life*
      *In the land …*

      [ok, cancel that!!! ]

      *So we sailed on to the sun*
      *Until we found the sea of green*
      *And we lived beneath the waves*
      *In our yellow …*

      [Stop it!! Nothing to sea here!!!]

      *We all live in a yellow submarine*
      *Yellow submarine, yellow submarine*
      *We all live in a yellow submarine*
      *Yellow submarine, yellow submarine*

      [Security !!!!]
