Camp Perry Version

Picture yourself in a squad on a river,
With a tiny little rifle, and aperture sights
Somebody calls that the range is now open,
A Marine with kaleidescope garb.

Paper-thin targets of tan color green,
Towering yards, quite away!
Look for the spotter to mark your low shot
It was low.

Chorus...
Thirty carbine round, is way low.
Thirty carbine round, is way low.
Lowwwwwwwwwwwwww, ohhhhhhhhh.

Move the sights up to the target that's higher,
Where spotting pit markers, still stare in the sky!
Everyone smiles as you miss at the target,
Rounds have gone possibly high!

Thirty cal rounds have impacted on shore,
Still have not hit a Sea Doo...
Adjust your sights and fire, once more again
And you're gone.

Chorus...
Thirty carbine round, is way low.
Thirty carbine round, is way low.
Lowwwwwwwwwwwwww, ohhhhhhhhh.

Yes you are shooting an M-1 Gar-and,
With porters on targets who can't always score.
Suddenly someone is there at the range line,
The girl with the match scores and surprise!

Chorus...
Thirty carbine round, is way low.
Thirty carbine round, is way low.
Lowwwwwwwwwwwwww, ohhhhhhhhh.

The Beatles Original Version

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she’s gone.

Chorus...
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhh.

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies!
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away...
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you’re gone.

Chorus...
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhh.

Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties.
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.

Chorus...
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhh.
