There were ships of shapes and sizes Scattered out along the bay And I thought I heard her calling As the steamer pulled away The invaders must have seen them As across the coast they filed Standin' firm between them There lay Thunder Child Moving swiftly through the waters Cannons blazing as she came Brought a mighty metal warlord Crashing down in sheets of flame Sensing victory was nearing Thinkin' fortune must have smiled People started cheering "Come on Thunder Child "Come on Thunder Child Lashing ropes and smashing timbers Flashing heat rays pierce the deck Dashing hopes for our deliverance As we watched the sinkin' wreck With the smoke of battle clearing As degrading waves defiled Slowly disappearing Farewell Thunder Child Slowly disappearing Farewell Thunder Child Farewell Thunder Child Farewell Thunder Child
