"The Devil came to Subic Bay"

 

Another from Owyn "The Preacher" Bradford ... 

 Devil came to Subic Bay where the River needs a flush And when he saw the goings-on, the Pitchfork Boy, he blushed.

There was drunkenness, perversion, and whoop-de-doo galore: There were thieves and crooked PC's and brown-skinned little whores.

There was drugs and there was smuggling, there were fights in every bar And Satan knew for certain this was Where The Wild Things Are.

His inner self in turmoil, he returned to the place of fire For he told himself that Subic Bay was not to his desire.

Then one night an ancient sailor man slipped his cable, yes he died And went to Hell, where Satan, sitting on his throne in pride, Asked him "Now were you, Seventh Fleet?

Did you sail the seas out East?" "Yes, sir," replied the sailor.

Then the angry horned Beast Roared "No berths here for the likes of you! Depart hence, getaway! "Go spend all eternity, old man, on the shores of Subic Bay!"

Then the sailor went down on one knee. "Thankee, sir," he said, "For you’re God, and not the Devil, to pour blessings on my head!"

And that's why old Asia sailor men, when their lives are finally o'er, Go back out east for eternity with the drinks and with the whores, Is it Hell or is it, Heaven? Truth to tell, no one can say But when the Muster's answered...we'll be back to Subic Bay!
