Speedin' in a race boat
Alongside a wasteboat
Trying to prevent
The dumping of a nuke load
Doctors and nurses
Leaving kids and wives,
Homes and lovers
The best years of their lives

There's so much to be done
So little to be said
For now we can only
Show some respect

That's why
The boys in the band and I say WOW
With a lotta respect to the people of
Greenpeace
Amnesty International
Doctors without frontiers

They wanna get rid of these dumpheeps
They try to keap the sea clean
risking life and limb
Toto keep your garden green
We're bumpin' down our bridges
Pullin' out too soon the stitches
So the wounds can hardly heal
We're wearing out our riches

There's so much to be done
So little to be said
For now we can only,
Show some respect

That's why
The boys in the band in the band and I say WOW
With a lotta respect, the boys and I say …WOW

No cold, no rain
No stormy seas
No guns, no harpoons
Can put them to their knees
We're burnin' down our bridges
Pullin' out to soon the stitches
So the wounds can hardly heal
We're wearing out our riches

There's so much to be done
So little to be said
For now we can only
Show some respect

The boys in the band and I say WOW
With a lotta respect, the boys and I say…WOW

That's why the boys in the band and I say WOW
(with a lotta respect from us to them)
