I was born on a good ship

Loose lips sink flagships

Left alone and the sea is calm

High tide and no storms



They tell me that the river's too deep

And it's much too wide

You can't get across to the other side

I got a lover way over there by the mountainside

(Hold her my arms just a-one more time)

And I can hear her calling to me

(Just like I did before)

I can hear her calling to me

(The sea's been sailing a good ship)

She's calling my name



Sailing home on a good ship

(I've been sailing a good ship)

The sea is too cold and it's much too wide

(Much too wide)



(Sailing home on a good ship)

High tide and no storms



I was born on a good ship

Much too wide

Loose lips sink flask hips

But it's much too wide
