Set Sail

Let’s set sail across the sea like buccaneers
You and I
We’ll live beneath the clouded and rain-streaked sky
Across the pages of this ancient tale
Let’s set sail across the sea
You and I
We’ll discover distant lands on our way
By and by
We need no compass
The sun will be our guide
We’ll offend those who say we’re going to fail
As through the sea we glide
And the gentlemen all sing
Hey-ho la-da-de da-do
The gentlemen all sing
Hey-ho hey-ho
Hey-ho
The rocks will be sharp as knives in the night
At our heels the darkened beasts will snap and bite
The winds will howl and the hands will fall their rain
Robbing us of laughter
Robbing us of sight
And the gentlemen all sing
Hey-ho la-da-de da-do
The gentlemen all sing
Hey-ho hey-ho
Hey-ho
We’ll skirt around the isle of lamentation
And drop anchor at the port of damnation
There we’ll drink our fill and head off again
Across the sea like buccaneers, you and I
And the gentlemen all sing
Hey-ho la-da-de da-do
The gentlemen all sing
Hey-ho hey-ho
Once again the gentleman sing
Hey-ho la-da-de da-do
The gentlemen all sing
Hey-ho hey-ho
