A hell of a place

Below deck
it’s a hell of a place
machines are pompin’
and stompin’ and thumpin’

Below deck
it’s a hell of a place
and it’s so hot you just
have to take your clothes off

His name was Alexander
he was the captain of the ship
he took me down and under
it was a very pleasant trip
and when he introduced himself to me
he said you can call me Al

Below deck
it’s a hell of a place
machines are pompin’
and stompin’ and thumpin’

Below deck
it’s a hell of a place
and it’s so hot that you just
have to take your clothes off

You just have to take your clothes off!

I’m riding his Titanic
when Alex starts to panic
I said that ain’t no way to treat a lady
you can’t just stop
I was getting all warmed up

Snap out of it
snap out of it
snap out of it

Below deck
it’s a hell of a place
machines are pompin’
and stompin’ and thumpin’

Below deck
it’s a hell of a place
and it’s so hot that you just
have to take your clothes off

You just have to take your clothes off
You just have to take your clothes off
