On the seven seas there was aphantom ship acoming, 

Shinin' in the dead of night, 

I heard the crew a hummin' 

Tunes that sounded like the Rolling Stones and Leonard Cohen. 

But they didn't know the words, 

So I assumed that they was foreign.



CHORUS 

But I heard them just the same doctor let me teach 'em, 

I just wanna please 'em, doctor let me teach 'em.



I looked up in the sky there was a phantom plane a comin', 

Shinin' in the dead of night, 

I heard the pilot saying, 

Poems that were written by John Keats and Robert Browning. 

But he didn't know the words so, 

I suppose that it was nothing.



CHORUS 

But I heard them just the same doctor let me teach 'em, 

I just wanna please 'em, doctor let me teach 'em.



Doctor please believe me, I know you won't decieve me, 

But do these things I'm seein', have any hidden meaning. 

It's all good entertainment and it doesn't cost a penny. 

So please doc, let me teach 'em, if I could only reach 'em.



CHORUS 

But I heard them just the same doctor let me teach 'em, 

I just wanna please 'em, doctor let me teach 'em.
