Ding Dong! The Well is Dead!

Ding Dong!
The Well is dead.
Which oil Well?
The BP Well!
Ding Dong!
Macondo well is dead!

Scrub oil off the pelican's head,
pull trawlers along the Gulf Sea bed.
Coast Guard said the oil well is dead!

Say skeptics, "Where'd the oil go?"
Below - below - below.
Yo-ho,
let's open up the beach
and wring the booms out.

Ding Dong the merry-oh,
never mind the slick below.
Let folks know
Macondo well is dead!

BP
The well's been plugged but it's a pity,
Offshore drilling all had to be stopped.
Spillcam's off; we're not the enemy!

USCG
But we've got to verify it legally, to see

BP
To see?

USCG
If she

BP
If she?

USCG
Is morally, ethic'lly

Shrimpers
Spiritually, physically

Fishermen
Positively, absolutely

Tourists
Undeniably and reliably Dead

Adm. Thad Allen
As Admiral I must aver,
I thoroughly examined her.
And she's not only merely dead,
she's really most sincerely dead.

BP
This is a good day for Gulf dependents,
For all marine life, and their descendants

USCG
If any...

All
Yes, let the joyous news be spread
Deepwater Horizon's well is dead!
