Oh how I wish to travel by sea An’ see the dolphins swim past me The waves, the sky, the water so blue The emptiness sets so pure and true Oh how I wish to travel by sea There’s no need for you, just lonely me My map-shaped hat sits upon my head It guides me along my water bed Oh how I wish to travel by sea I hope to encounter a pirate or three Become their friend and join in crime And navigate from the stars aligned Oh how I wish to travel by sea Below the surface I can barely see A dark new world of coral and trout If I dare sink under I will never get out Oh how I wish to travel by sea I’ll leave my country so patiently I’ll crash upon the side of sand I’ll stick in my flag and claim my land
