Stuck up here, stuck up there
this ship’s stuck up everywhere
It’s a shipping container without a care
Stuck in the Suez Canal
a special ship of peculiar frame
Dimensions were completely insane
and it found a way to spend 6 whole days
stuck in the suez canal
Stuck up here, stuck up there
this ship’s stuck up everywhere
It’s a shipping container without a care
Stuck in the Suez Canal
For getting stuck this ship had a knack
this ship was stuck in a big old trap
its spatial awareness was pretty crap
stuck in the suez canal
Stuck up here, stuck up there
this ship’s stuck up everywhere
It’s a shipping container without a care
Stuck in the Suez Canal
it had no compass
it had no plan
it was gonna to be late to Rotterdam
And in the canal this ship would always stand
Stuck in the Suez Canal
Stuck up here, stuck up there
this ship’s stuck up everywhere
It’s a shipping container without a care
Stuck in the Suez Canal
Well a tractor tried to pry it free
it didn’t work but we have the means
a traffic jam in the red sea
Stuck in the Suez Canal
Stuck up here, stuck up there
this ship’s stuck up everywhere
It’s a shipping container without a care
Stuck in the Suez Canal
this ship made an enemy
of the suez canal port authority
Took a fleet of tugboats to set it free
Stuck in the Suez Canal
Stuck up here, stuck up there
this ship’s stuck up everywhere
It’s a shipping container without a care
Stuck in the Suez Canal
the ship caused quite an escapade
it blocked 10 billion maritime trade
and it started a great big insurance claim
Stuck in the Suez Canal
Stuck up here, stuck up there
this ship’s stuck up everywhere
It’s a shipping container without a care
Stuck in the Suez Canal
(slower)
Now that’s not quite how the story ends
it had a sister ship my friend
that sister ship got stuck again
Stuck in the Chesapeake bay
(speed up again)
Stuck up here, stuck up there
this ship’s stuck up everywhere
It’s a shipping container without a care
Stuck in the Suez Canal
note: this event happened in March 2021.
