I know a boy who sailed around the world
started off with his cat
he fell in love with a girl
now what do you think of that?
they visited many lands
madagascar, tonga, and france
but now he lives all alone
in a rusty old houseboat
and there floats
out in the san pablo bay
when he goes, I won't know
but she'll write him every day
today
today he's fishing in his spot
but never a fish caught
she brought him sandwiches
and scared away the fish
how could he understand
she's a lover of the land
he's a lover of the sea
they were lovers that couldn't be
sailor, go
give her the time of day
if you go, don't you know
she'll write you every day
but I said it before and I'll say it again
don't ever go out to sea with a friend
I said it before and I'll say it again
don't ever go out to sea without your pen
would you sail with me, would you sail with me
would you sail with me around the world
(would you sail with me, would you sail with me
would you sail) with me around the world
(would you sail with me, would you sail with me
would you sail) with me around the world
(would you sail with me, would you sail with me
would you sail) with me around the world
go sailor go sailor go sailor
go sailor go sailor go sailor
go whoa, go whoa, go whoa
