| We sail tonight for Singapore
|
| We’re all as mad as hatters here
|
| I’ve fallen for a tawny moor
|
| Took off to the Land of Nod
|
| Drank with all the Chinamen
|
| Walked the sewers of Paris
|
| I danced along a colored wind
|
| Dangled from a rope of sand
|
| You must say goodbye to me
|
| We sail tonight for Singapore
|
| Don’t fall asleep while you’re ashore
|
| Cross your heart and hope to die
|
| When you hear the children cry
|
| Let marrow bone and cleaver choose
|
| While making feet for children’s shoes
|
| Through the alley
|
| Back from Hell
|
| When you hear that steeple bell
|
| You must say goodbye to me
|
| Wipe him down with gasoline
|
| Till his arms are hard and mean
|
| From now on boys this iron boat’s your home
|
| So heave away boys
|
| We sail tonight for Singapore
|
| Take your blankets from the floor
|
| Wash your mouth out by the door
|
| The whole town is made of iron ore
|
| Every witness turns to steam
|
| They all become Italian dreams
|
| Fill your pockets up with earth
|
| Get yourself a dollar’s worth
|
| Away boys, away boys, heave away
|
| The captain is a one-armed dwarf
|
| He’s throwing dice along the wharf
|
| In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King
|
| So take this ring
|
| We sail tonight for Singapore
|
| We’re all as mad as hatters here
|
| I’ve fallen for a tawny moor
|
| Took off to the Land of Nod
|
| Drank with all the Chinamen
|
| Walked the sewers of Paris
|
| I danced along a colored wind
|
| Dangled from a rope of sand
|
| You must say goodbye to me |
