Log of the Echo III

We left Vancouver Saturday, The natives gave a cheer. For we'd been standing at the dock For over half a year. But now she's got her bottom clean, And looking mighty fine, With half her railing laid away And washing on the line. Chorus: What's the matter with Echo? Not a single thing, Her whistle gives a lovely toot, Her bell will always ring. She steps along at seven knots To cheer a sailor's heart, And we'll reach Louisa Inlet If she doesn't fall apart. O Captain Sherry's in command, A seasoned salt is he, He left the tarpot on the dock And headed out to sea, And Allan left the steering wheel And scampered all around, To tell his daddy down below, "We nearly ran aground!" We thundered out of Stanley Park Before the morning came. The cooks and crew were all asleep But that was all the same. The natives watched in reverent awe, They all were stricken dumb, The mosquitos and teretas shouted, "Fellow, here they come!" (Chorus) We ambled into Buccaneer, The engine coughed and died, The Nor'west wind began to blow, It was a running tide, And Paul he tied the rowboat on And pulled her from the land, With seven captains on the bridge And all were in command. The Echo is a noble ship As all Canadians know, She used to be an oil barge But that was years ago. They built a handsome superdeck To heighten all our joys, With a galley and a main saloon, And room for gulls and buoys. (Chorus) There was Diesel in the water And the stores were getting thin, The Shangri-La she volunteered To take the steward in, She brought us back the groceries, And mighty glad were we And Helen manned the motor boat Without her lingerie. O Marilyn's in the galley A-mixing cookie dough, And Harriet runs the dishpan And Sherry's down below, While Steve and Allan pole the raft And Mal is cooking stew, And Bud is in the wheelhouse A-cussing out the crew. (Chorus) It was a lovely morning, The sea was smooth as glass, The seagulls circled round about To see the Echo pass, And everyone was at his post While Allan baked a cake, And Mal and Paula in the stern Strewed garbage in the wake. The compass was a little off, The charts were out of date, The Engineer he wasn't sure If we made six or eight, We had to get to Pender Before the end of day, So we hailed a passing salad boat To point us out the way. (Chorus) Our boat she thumps and bumps along As graceful as a bird, She is the pride of Puget and She's called the Echo Third. We give three cheers for everything, The echoes give reply, And so she's called the Echo III And that's the reason why. We had a consultation Aboard our little boat, We needed milk for all the kids And should we keep a goat? We'd ring a bell to milk her, Another bell to feed, And she'd serve us for a foghorn Whenever there was need. (Chorus) We tied our boat at Malibu North To see its beauties rare. The place was built for ritzy folk
