The guided-missile frigate USS McInerney (FFG 8) tows a self-propelled, semi-submersible craft seized Saturday, Sept. 13, 2008 by Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment 404.Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from a tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship.

The mate was a narco terrorist,
The skipper was one too.
Some criminals set sail that day
to smuggle cocaine, to smuggle cocaine.

The Coast Guard started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the speed of the fearful crew
The cocaine would be lost, the cocaine would be lost.
