Singapore |
| 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 |
