oysterband - the day that the ship goes down lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
my good old captain said to me
we shall be all at sea
we shall be all at sea
the day that the ship goes down

[verse 2]
the captain’s drunk and the crew as well
who’ll be there to ring the bell?
who’ll be there to ring the bell?
the day that the ship goes down (the day that the ship goes down)

[verse 3]
a shot of brandy in his hand
the lookout will look for land
he will look and look for land
the day that the ship goes down

[verse 4]
when things go bump at night
you’re lucky if you travel light
you can learn to travel light
the day that the ship goеs down (the day that the ship goes down)

[bridge]
don’t fuss, don’t cuss, movе right up the bus
will there be room for us?
the answer’s getting obvious
sister, believe me
[verse 5]
some will get down on their knees
get me in the lifeboat, please
jesus send a lifeboat, please
the day that the ship goes down (the day that the ship goes down)

[saxophone solo]

[bridge]
oh, you won’t have time to find your coats
so if you miss the boats
grab something rich that floats
brother, believe me

[verse 1]
my good old captain said to me
we shall be all at sea
we shall be all at sea
the day that the ship goes down

[verse 6]
i’m not gonna wait to join in the hymns
life has taught me how to swim
me and the rats know how to swim
oh, the day that the ship goes down
[bridge]
people, believe me (oh, believe me)

[verse 7]
welcome aboard, our honoured guests
we’re always here to play requests
who’s got any last requests
the day that the ship goes down?

[verse 8]
as you leave you’ll understand
it’s quite okay to tip the band
we take cheques and krugerrands
the day that the ship goes down
on the day that the ship goes down
