Any time now precious land should appear
 I've been away from my lover so long
 Look there matey, but I could be wrong

 Oh land ahoy, land ahoy, sailor boy
 (Land ahoy land ahoy Papa's toy l'ahoy)

 Listen here matey, in an hour or so
 We'll be sitting on the land that we know
 We'll leave this ship and run to outstreched arms
 And soon we'll be living with our lover's charms

 Oh land ahoy, land ahoy, sailor boy
 (Land ahoy land ahoy Papa's toy l'ahoy)

 Listen here matey, in an hour or so
 We'll be sitting on the land that we know
 We'll leave this ship and run to outstreched arms
 And soon we'll be living with our lover's charms


 Oh land ahoy, land ahoy, sailor boy
 (Land ahoy land ahoy Papa's toy l'ahoy
