Preble Songs

Sonar  Blues

 

I’ve got these

Sonar blues, Lord, Lord, I said

I’ve got these

Everyday-no-good sonar blues.

And you can listen to them,

‘Cause you can hear them too!

 

That sonar

Is the music by which we eat our meals.

That sonar

Is the music by which we eat our meals.

It give us the blues,

But when we’re eatin’

It ain’t no big deal.

 

I even hear it

When I hit my rack.

I even hear it

When I hit my rack.

I hope

There ain’t no subs bouncin’ back!

 

That sonar

Keeps me awake at night.

That sonar

Keeps me awake at night.

Well, I can hear it

Even when I close my eyes!
