I have been racking my brain (took a couple of secs) to wring out the right words to the revisiting of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Ontario Diver went down to a wreck one day
In the big lake they call Gitchagoomie
They had had a bad storm, so the vis was way bad
At three meters it was positively gloomy!
He had a big tank and had a pony bottle too
He was really geared up for big trouble
But the sight that he saw on the wreck that dark morn
Made even him scream through his bubbles!
His buddy got scared and he tried to bolt
But Ontario Diver did stop him
They swam to the aft of that ill fated boat
As an eerie chill went through them!
The apparition stared deep into the hold
Of the big ship that rested on the bottom
His appearance and clothes, well they looked very old
His sodden expression was ashen
Ontario Diver, he finally realized
What this ghost was tryin’ to show him
For it was all of that ore, and not the captains fault
That had sunk the Edmund Fitzgerald!
The captain was slowly nodding his head
As Ontario Diver started ascending
The poor old lost soul had finally cleared his name
In this tragic old ship’s final ending!

Diving Wrecks Is So Neat
(Dancing in the Street: Martha and the Vandellas, Van Halen, Bowie and Jagger)
Loading gear on to the boat
Searching for the best sunken treat
My buddy's here and the viz is right
For diving wrecks is so neat
Going down on Saratoga
Andrea Doria too
See the Empress of Ireland
All we need is water, deep water
There are shipwrecks everywhere
There'll be picture taking, memories making
Diving wrecks is so neat
Oh it doesn't matter how it sunk
Its history, don't call it junk
So come on ev'ry one grab your tank
Going down, where she sank
We'll be diving
Cause diving wrecks is so neat
I got an inclination for wreck penetration
Inside the wreck is really sweat
I brought my reel wound tight, a halogen light
Diving wrecks is so neat
RMS Rhones in BVI
U-boats of the coast of N.C. now
Can't forget the Yongala
All we need is water, deep water
There are shipwrecks everywhere
There'll be picture taking, memories making
Diving wrecks is so neat
Oh it doesn't matter how it sunk
Its history, don't call it junk
So come on ev'ry one grab your tank
Going down, where she sank
I'm trying alot of new things lately might as well try this too
(to if your gonna play in Texas)
If you'r gonna dive in Texas gotta have a dive light in your hand
15 feet of vis an't for a carabien man.

If your gonna dive in Texas gotta have a dive light in your hand.
I rember out at athens,

If you'r gonna dive in texas you gotta have a dive light in your hand
Partidge Family......Well I'll have to ask my older parents just who they are....
This is from their theme song from the TV show. (I saw it in university - Ancient History of TV 102)
The Certification Authority (Come On Get Diving)
C'mon kid, It's an easy to learn SCUBA
Come on, get PADI
A whole lotta training is what They'll be doin'
Then you try NAUI
They all look the same but instructors are different
And it'll take some extra time, but YMCA might be better
Arguments always happens whenever we dive together
It really shouldn't matter if we're gettin wetter
Travelin' in Europe, There's other ways of goin'
SSI, and B-SAC
A whole lotta confusion is caused by different training
Let's just go divin'
Let's just go divin'
Let's just go divin'
(And no, this is not, I repeat NOT, anti or pro any specific group, I've just noticed that its a good way of getting on peoples nerves - so I make some fun!)
