Well, he says he’s got a big boat
A high roller
And everybody knows its name
Oh, it’s a big boat
And it pumps up the poor boy's pride
Says he’s got a big boat
But it’s just a ferry boat
And that makes for a short, short ride
Says he’s got a big boat
A wide load
Enough to bring the party down
Oh yeah, a big boat
It ain’t no Carnival Cruise
Says he’s got a big boat
But it’s just a ferry boat
Enough to fit an extra one or two
Says he’s got a big boat
But it’s just a ferry boat
And that makes for a short, short ride
Says he's got a fast boat
Talk about lightspeed
But everybody knows the truth, oh
Hey, a big boat
Get your oars back in the water, kid
Says he’s got a fast boat
But it’s just a ferry boat
It ain't no faster than a goldfish
Says he got a big boat
But it’s just a ferry boat
And that makes for a short, short ride
A high roller
And everybody knows its name
Oh, it’s a big boat
And it pumps up the poor boy's pride
Says he’s got a big boat
But it’s just a ferry boat
And that makes for a short, short ride
A wide load
Enough to bring the party down
Oh yeah, a big boat
It ain’t no Carnival Cruise
Says he’s got a big boat
But it’s just a ferry boat
Enough to fit an extra one or two
But it’s just a ferry boat
And that makes for a short, short ride
Talk about lightspeed
But everybody knows the truth, oh
Hey, a big boat
Get your oars back in the water, kid
Says he’s got a fast boat
But it’s just a ferry boat
It ain't no faster than a goldfish
But it’s just a ferry boat
And that makes for a short, short ride

This song just makes me smile.
what a great song. i use to brag about having the g.i. joe aircraft carrier so, maybe i'm the dick?.
Haha... I love this song. The whole Transistor Radio album is incredible, and this one is definitely one of the highlights for me. Listen closely and you'll hear some backing vocals sung by Jenny Lewis from Rilo Kiley.
What an awesome song. Makes me smile also. Such a short, short ride...
I like the pun I guess, of Fairy boat, which could also be ferry boat, which is also another lame boat
Sorry to bring down the party, but am I the only one who's thinking that this is a cheeky tribute to Charon? It seems to fit with the rest of Mr. Ward's songs - they can be kind of deathy.
Ok maybe my head is in the gutter, but the first thing I thought was that the "boat" was in reference to a certain male organ.
Says he’s got a big boat But it’s just a ferry boat And that makes for a short, short ride
The whole song fits but this part is perfect.
I thought the same thing Vickivickyvickie, haha
