Armageddon Lyrics
There was a full moon over Memphis
National Guard outside
Thousands wait for Elvis
Waitin' ever since he died
For a miracle to gonna happen
His eminence to restore
The sound of thunder crackin'
Signals the beginning of the war to end all wars
Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home
Jerry and Linda in the Whitehouse
President sleepin' in his shoes
Red phones ring in the blackout
Ain't got time to lose
U-boats off New England
Enemy submarines
From Boston to Miami
On a red alert, you better scramble all the F-15's
Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home
National Guard outside
Thousands wait for Elvis
Waitin' ever since he died
For a miracle to gonna happen
His eminence to restore
The sound of thunder crackin'
Signals the beginning of the war to end all wars
Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home
President sleepin' in his shoes
Red phones ring in the blackout
Ain't got time to lose
U-boats off New England
Enemy submarines
From Boston to Miami
On a red alert, you better scramble all the F-15's
Armageddon carry me home

"you-boat" should read "U-boat" referring to Unterseeboot (in German), which means "undersea boat" in English. It was used as a name for German submarines during the 1st and 2nd world wars, and they were sighted often off the coasts of both New England and Canada.
The song is about a fictional 3rd World War of course. Also, what I find interesting is that the reference to F-15 fighter jets is still not out of date, despite the 20+ year age of this song !
