Ships |
| Mariyln Monroe was so tired |
| She was so tired, she was so tired |
| City girl lost in a field of rye |
| And see what she has done |
| Now she’s out on a boat on the ocean |
| Turning around and around |
| Sail for a dress and her hand on her breast |
| Out on the rolling sea |
| Out on the rolling sea |
| John Wayne was so sick |
| He was so thick, he was up a crick |
| Cowboy lost in a long steel hall |
| And see what he has done |
| Now he’s out on a boat on the ocean |
| Turning around and around |
| Lashed to the mast and free at last |
| Out on the rolling sea |
| Out on the rolling sea |
| Elvis Presley was so fat |
| They gave him all that, just to stand pat |
| Jaguar lost in a living room |
| And you see what he has done |
| Now he’s out on a boat on the ocean |
| Turning around and around |
| The dolphins gather to hear him moan |
| Out on the rolling sea |
| Out on the rolling sea |
| And will you rock the boat, Mr. Presley? |
| Will you let us see it, Miss Monroe? |
| Will you save us, Mr. John Wayne, sir? |
| We come so far to go back alone |
| We come so far |
| All the long ships are sailing away |
| With one little candle to light the way |
| 'til they come to a place where the sun goes down |
| And they all start turning around |
| And they all start turning around |
| They all start turning around |
