Lyrics
Well, he says he's got a big boat
Expressing that the person claims to own a large boat
A high roller
Describing the person as a high roller, suggesting wealth and extravagance
And everybody knows it's name
Highlighting that the boat is well-known by everyone
Oh, it's a big boat and it pumps up the poor boys pride
Emphasizing the size of the boat and its impact on the pride of less fortunate individuals
Says he's got a big boat,
Reiterating the claim of owning a big boat
But it's just a fairy boat and that makes for a short, short ride
Contradicting the claim, suggesting the boat is merely an illusion and leads to disappointment
Says he's got a big boat
Repeating the assertion of having a large boat
A wide load
Describing the boat as wide, potentially cumbersome or ostentatious
Enough to bring the party down
Indicating that the boat has negative consequences for the party or gathering
Oh yeah a big boat,
Reaffirming the claim of possessing a big boat
It ain't no carnival cruise
Rejecting the idea that the boat is a luxurious cruise, emphasizing its true nature
Says he's got a big boat,
Repeating the assertion of having a big boat
But it's just a fairy boat, enough to fit an extra one or two
Insinuating that the boat is deceptive, capable of accommodating only a few despite the claim
Says he's got a big boat,
Reiterating the claim of owning a large boat
But it's just a fairy boat and that makes for a short, short ride
Emphasizing again that the boat is illusory and leads to a short-lived experience
Says he's got a fast boat, talk about high speed
Asserting ownership of a fast boat with high speed
But everybody knows the truth
Challenging the truthfulness of the claim and suggesting that people are aware of the reality
Oh hey, a big boat
Reaffirming the assertion of having a big boat
Get your oars back in the water, kid
Advising someone (possibly the person claiming) to focus on practical matters
Says he's got a fast boat,
Stating ownership of a fast boat but implying it is not as fast as claimed
But it's just a fairy boat it ain't to faster than a goldfish
Comparing the speed of the boat to a goldfish, suggesting it's not impressive
Says he got a big boat but it's just a fairy boat and that makes for a short, short ride
Reiterating that the claimed big boat is an illusion, leading to a short-lived experience
