And all my love come down

All my love come tumblin' down

All my love come tumblin' down

All my love come tumblin' down

Oh, listen listen

To the lion

Oh, listen listen listen

To the lion...

Inside of me

Oh, oh, oh

And I shall search my soul

I shall search my very soul

And I shall search my very soul

I shall search my very so-o-oul

For the lion

For the lion

For the lion

For the lion...

Inside of me

Oh, oh, yeah

And all my tears have flown

All my tears like water flown

And all my tears like water flown

All my tears like-a water flown

For the lion

For the lion

For the lion

For the lion...

Inside of me

[growling, scatting, etc.]

Listen to the lion [repeated 14 times]

[more scatting]

And we sailed, and we sailed...

And we sailed, and we sailed...

And we sailed, and we sailed...

... sailed to Caledonia

And we sailed, and we sailed,

And we sailed, and we sailed, and we sailed...

Away from Denmark

Way up to Caledonia

Away from Denmark

Way up to Caledonia

And we sailed, and we sailed, and we sailed...

All around the World

And we sailed..., and we sailed..., and we sailed...

Looking for a brand new start

And we sailed...

And we sailed, and we sailed...

All around the World

... a brand new start

Looking for a brand new start

Looking for a brand new start

Looking for a brand new start

And we sailed, and we sailed, and we sailed...

And we sailed...

Away from the Golden Gate

Way up to the New York City
