Lyrics
V1
Who coulda known that you would be so calm within calamity
For now you've shown us your confidence just grows when under siege
Who would have guessed when you were distressed it would be your policy
To put your back to the ropes and then by cracking a joke knock us out with comedy
Chorus 1
Well Oh No, who woulda known you were so clever to define
Disaster equals laughter over time
Disaster equals laughter over time
V2
I have to admit that I was tempted to believe I might be wrong
When we bound and gagged ya and ya started to brag that you'd planned this all along.
But quickly we learned when you were burned you would return with words to prove you're tough enough
But you failed the test, (now confess) call in distress, (s.o.s) because British called your bluff
Chorus 2
Well Oh No, who woulda known that in this lowly state you'd find
Disaster equals laughter over time
Disaster equals laughter over time
Bridge
You're One in a Maximilian
A free standing strong pavilion
No one ever dares to question your opinion
You're One in a Maximilian
You are feared by soldiers and civilians
Holding both sides of the prime meridian
You're One in a Maximilian
So adored by scores of loyal minions
Ooo you make the ladies turn a shade vermillion
You're One in a Maximilian
You're One in a Maximilian
You are one in a million
V3
I pray in your haste that you would not waste, a thimble of this irony
That these land loving soldiers have a whale on their shoulders, Maximilian Von Spee
Chorus 3
Well Oh No, who woulda known that is all as you designed
Disaster equals laughter over time
Disaster equals laughter over time
Disaster equals laughter over time
