Mao's on a Boat!

This song is all about communism and Chairman Mao: set to the Lonely Island's "I'm on a Boat" (which I clearly do not own).

Here are the lyrics:
Hey everybody,
It's about to go down
People in the classroom, keep studying World Cultures
But keep learning other things, too
Mao's running this, let's go

Mao's on a boat, Mao's on a boat
Everybody look at him
'Cause he's sailing on a boat
Mao's on a boat, Mao's on a boat
Take a good hard look
Over at the boat!

Mao's on a boat, everybody, take a look at him
He's all about communism
He started something called the Great Leap, Great Leap
And there were 20 million starved peeps

Take a picture, yo
It was the Cultural Rev
When anything old...was bad
Hunting down, capitalist roaders
The youth were all haters

Mao's being chased out on the Long March
Chiang Kai-Shek, he played a part
But this ain't Seaworld, it was '34
83k died out in civil war

Mao's on a boat and its going fast and
He shared all his thoughts with the peasants
The leader of China, on a boat like Leo
Spouting propaganda, like all sorts of people

Get up, this boat is real!

Little Red Books on the boat everybody
No votes on the boat everybody
No speech on the boat everybody
And that's all she wrote everybody

Hey Mao, if you could see China now
All free market-----like wow
Trading with the USA somehow
Like Kevin Garnett, anything is possible!

I'd never thought I'd rap on a boat
It feels like I need a coat
Students, look at me
I'd never thought I'd see the day,
When I'd be singing
Believe me when I say, this wasn't planned

Mao's on a boat, Mao's on a boat
Everybody look at him
'Cause he's sailing on a boat
Mao's on a boat, Mao's on a boat
Take a good hard look
Over at the boat!
