Oh God! I'm an Ocean Buoy!

Took a flight from the farm
and I never came back.
Built a plane from a kit
but I didn't have the knack.
Jumped into the cockpit
and downed a six-pack.
And now I'm an ocean buoy.

Well I grabbed the controls
and I started to fiddle.
Got flames coming up
on my face like a griddle.
Air flight ain't nothing
but a funny funny riddle.
So now I'm an ocean buoy.

Well my head's in pieces
and my body's full of dents.
They'll identify me
by my guitar's fingerprints.
I tried to "dry out"
but instead I got a rinse.
And now I'm an ocean buoy.

Well it's really far out
when you're underneath the water.
I just ain't been right
since I started on the bottle.
I reached for Jim Beam
but instead I grabbed the throttle.
And now I'm an ocean buoy.

Well I grabbed the controls
and I started to fiddle.
Got flames coming up
'round my face like a griddle.
George Burns is beside me
and we're praying just a little.
Oh God! I'm an ocean buoy!

Now the day's about over
and I'm sinking kinda low.
In the undersea world
of Jacques Cousteau.
Calypso can you find me
by the bubbles that I blow?
'Cause now I'm an ocean buoy.
