The Lyrics
(Instrumental opening)
Oh, I now hide 'neath the deck
of a ship that is a wreck.
At 6:00, it was too rough to eat.
Seven came, hatch gave in.
Good to know us, it had been.
Our Cleveland voyage, we did not complete.
Cheer up, Eddie Fitz.
Oh, we're in some snits
'cause the... Gales of November
went and... broke us to bits!
You once thought of me
as a sailor on the sea.
Now you know how fragile I can be.
Whoa, and a mass held in the Church
in Detroit, you're left in lurch.
There's 28 men who went down with me.
Cheer up, Eddie Fitz.
Oh, we're in some snits
'cause the... Gales of November
went and... broke us to bits!
Cheer up, Eddie Fitz.
Whoa, we're in some snits
'cause the... Gales of November
went and... broke us to bits!
(Instrumental break)
Cheer up, Eddie Fitz.
Oh, we're in some snits
'cause the... Gales of November
went and... broke us to bits!
Cheer up, Eddie Fitz!
Oh, we're in some snits
'cause the... Gales of November
went and... broke us to bits!
(Repeat 'til fade)

As Rush Limbaugh would say, "Ditto".
One of my all-time disliked pop songs, so always nice to see it trashed. But I would have tried to vary the chorus - five times is a bit much. Or were you satirizing the repetitiveness of the OS?
I applaud your creativity!
