Christmas Schooner

And it’s clang, clang, clang full steam ahead
Haul away haul away, ho
It’s the Christmas Schooner bringing Christmas trees, yo ho
The Captain had a twinkle in his blue eyes he had bright red rosy cheeks
A crew that kind of looked like elves all dressed in red and green
And the waves were big the wind was high she was sailing with a bone in her
teeth
Underneath that old bow sprit was a giant Christmas wreath
And it’s clang, clang, clang full steam ahead
Haul away haul away, ho
It’s the Christmas Schooner bringing Christmas trees, yo ho
Well olphins played in her bow wave and whales jumped in her wake
A pelican circled overhead said hurry for goodness sake
She was heading down south from way up north where the ocean it does freeze
Haulin a load of Christmas cheer to the land of the coconut tree
Is that Santa Claus at the wheel now who could say?
A mighty sailing ship or was that Santa’s sleigh?
Sailed into harbor in the middle of the night
Left Christmas trees and cheer sailed on by morning light
And it’s clang, clang, clang full steam ahead
Haul away haul away, ho
It’s the Christmas Schooner bringing Christmas trees, yo ho
Now children they have seen her from Maine to Key Biscayne
From Fiji to Australia and round the world again
Now when you see a Christmas tree you’ll know she’s passed your way
Just close your eyes, say «I believe» and she’ll be back next Christmas day
Is that Santa Claus at the wheel now who could say?
A mighty sailing ship or was that Santa’s sleigh?
Sailed into harbor in the middle of the night
Left Christmas trees and cheer sailed on by morning light
And it’s clang, clang, clang full steam ahead
Haul away haul away, ho
It’s the Christmas Schooner bringing Christmas trees, yo ho
And it’s clang, clang, clang full steam ahead
Haul away haul away, ho
It’s the Christmas Schooner bringing Christmas trees, yo ho
