if you’re thinking just like me
that you’d like to go to sea
I’ve some words of good advice
that you should note
your floating will be better
and you end up far less wetter
if you’ll only take along
a little boat
now boats are fancy things
says the dry man as he sings
for keeping all the ocean
from your socks
and even if they match
you can bet they’re not a patch
on a boat for when you
leave behind the docks
take a boat that’ll float
and you can quote me when I say
a boat is better any day
for when you’d like to go to sea
and you’re thinking just like me
you’ll need a boat to stay afloat |
if you’re thinking just like me
that you’d like to go to see
there’s another bit of wisdom
you should note
your health will be robust
and your joints will never rust
if you’ll only take along
a little coat
a coat’s a wondrous thing
says the warm man as he sings
for keeping all the chilly
from your throat
if it buttons or it zips
it’ll keep the frosty nips
from your throat
while you’re out sailing
on your boat
chorus
(spoken)
now, we’ve talked about boats
and we’ve talked about coats
and there’s only one thing left
to talk about: goats |
if you’re thinking just like me
that you’d like to go to sea
I’ve some final words of wisdom
you should note
as you’re loading up your boat
in your warm and fuzzy coat
don’t ever ever ever bring a goat
goats, the hungry things
will eat your sofa to the springs
and if there’s eating to be done,
well here’s my vote
put the goat into a pot
and we’ll serve him up right hot
and prevent the creature
butting up our boat
chorus
chords 1st 2 lines?
so take a boat and get yer coat
and eat the goat and stay afloat—
your floating will be better
and you end up far less wetter
if you’ll only take along a little boat |
