    I saw three ships come sailing in

     

    I saw three ships come sailing in

    And do you know, and here’s the thing,

    One was black and two were white

    All had sailed throughout the night.

    Evasion was their common aim

    Avoid detection was their game.

    Russian owned, evading sanctions,

    Since losing cash, cars and mansions.

    The Chief of Police looked at ease

    Blew his whistle the ships to seize.

    Men in blue began to board,

    Protests from the crew ignored.

    Papers served it began to rain

    As was seized ill-gotten gain.

    Justice served; men stood about,

    I never saw those ships sail out.
