Pontoons stood where once fields lay, lines of moorings to sell, And I was thinking to myself, this could be heaven or this could be hell. Then she held up a windlass and she showed me the way There were voices down the pontoon, I thought I heard them say... "Welcome to Marina California Such a lovely place Such a lovely base Plenty of room at Marina California Any time of year, you can find us here...." She showed me the moorings, there were plenty to spare They had a lot of pretty, pretty boats, that don't go anywhere. So I called to the manager, "Just let me go free" He said "We haven't had that spirit here since 2003." Last thing I remember, I was tripping over a cleat I had to find the passage back to the canal so sweet "Relax", said the boater in the Captain hat, "They are programmed to receive. We can checkout any time we like, but we will never leave!"
