In 2010, BP took a little trip
Along with Halliburton down the mighty Mississip.
They had a lot of money and they had a lot of greed
Yes, they were the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.
[Chorus:]
They fired up the rig and the British kept on drillin'.
Deeper in the ocean than they ever did before,
They drilled too deep and that big rig just exploded
dumpin' all that oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
We looked down the river and we see'd the slick a' comin.
Every day it billowed out, the mess grew more and more.
They capped and poured and they muddied up the waters.
And still the plumes rose up from beneath the ocean floor
[Chorus]
They fired up the rig and the British kept on drillin',
Deeper in the ocean than they ever did before,
They drilled too deep and that big rig just exploded
dumpin' all that oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
When BP said they could make it go away,
If we didn't blame them for the mess, they promised they would pay,
But even as they promised to control their open well.
They were sending out their lawyers to give local people hell.
[Chorus]They fired up the rig and the British kept on drillin'.
Deeper in the ocean than they ever did before,
They drilled too deep and that big rig just exploded
dumpin' all that oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
Yeah, they drilled through the floor, then they drilled through the mantle
And they drilled so deep that the watchdogs didn't know,
They drilled so fast that they blew a hole wide open,
And sent that stinky oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
[Chorus]They fired up the rig and the British kept on drillin'.
Deeper in the ocean than they ever did before,
They drilled too deep and that big rig just exploded
dumpin' all that oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
We we all stood up and demanded they take credit
For the mess they made with their little tiny holes,
They filled the gulf with tarballs, as it drifted towards the coast
from the very first explosion, they knew the Gulf was toast
[Chorus]
Yeah, they paid off the Senate and they bought out the House,
And they ran with the Bushes where an audit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the watchdogs couldn't catch 'em
Dumpin' all that oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
