Whooooooooooaah! whooooooah! whooah!
Sailing, sailing,
Said, when I'm ready, you must hold on steady,
We're moving off at lightning-speed, yeah.
Take a seat, and wait till I'm ready.
I'm coming, so hold on steady, yeeeah.
Big ship sailing on the ocean.
We don't need no commotion.
Big ship sailing on the ocean, whoah yeeeah.
Said, big ship sailing on the ocean.
Big ship sailing on the ocean, whooaaaaah yeeeah.
There's a time when the sea gets rough,
The wind is blowing and the fishes keep moving.
What are you doing, Mr Man? Sit down, hold on tight.
Get ready, coz you're sailing.
Big ship sailing on the ocean.
We don't need no commotion.
Big ship sailing on the ocean.
Get ready coz we're moving.
Big ship sailing on the ocean, whooaa-ooa-oooaah yeeeah.
Big ship sailing on the ocean, whoah yeah.
Big ship sailing on the ocean.
We don't need no commotion.
Big ship sailing on the ocean, whoah yeeeah.
Said, big ship sailing on the ocean.
Big ship sailing on the ocean, whooaa-ooa-oooaah yeeeah.
There's a time when the sea gets rough,
The wind is blowing and the fishes keep moving.
What are you doing, Mr Man? Sit down, hold on tight.
Get ready, coz you're sailing.
Big ship sailing on the ocean.
We don't need no commotion.
Big ship sailing on the ocean.
Get ready coz we're moving.
Big ship sailing on the ocean, whooaa-ooa-oooaah yeeeah.
Big ship sailing on the ocean, whoah yeeeah.
Said, when I'm ready, you must hold on steady,
We're moving off at lightning-speed, yeah.
Take a seat, and just wait till I'm ready.
I'm coming, I'm coming: hold on steady, coz...
Big ship sailing on the ocean.
We don't need no commotion.
Big ship sailing on the ocean.
We've got to come over.
Big ship sailing on the ocean, whooaa-ooa-oooaah whoah yeeeah.
I say, we're sailing on the ocean, yeeeeah.
Said, There's a time when the sea gets rough,
The wind is blowing and the fishes keep moving.
