Ooooh, we've got this notion That we'd quite like to sail the ocean So we're building a big boat to leave here for good.
We're not keen on sinking So we're all sitting here a thinking 'Cause we built it too big and we've run out of wood.
eidle eidle eee eidle eidle eee
We simply can't leave 'til we get some more wood.
Oooh, we're not keen on sinking so that's why we're sitting thinking
cause we simply can't leave 'til we get some more wood.
Part II
Ooooh, the boat is now finished But there's still something on the wish-list To keep us all going through the wind and the rain.
There's no food on the table And we can't sail unless we're able So we ain't going nowhere 'til we get some grain.
eidle eidle eee eidle eidle eee
we simply can't leave until we get some grain.
Therrrre's no food on the table And we can't sail unless we're able So we ain't going nowhere 'til we get some grain.
Part III Ooooh, We're not complaining but there's still one more thing remaining Cause bread is quite boring if that's all you eat.
We need some flavour So do us all a little favour Cause, we ain't going nowhere 'til we get some meat.
eidle eidle eee eidle eidle eee
We simply can't leave until we've got some meat. Sooooo, Do us a favour and find something with a little flavour Cause we're going nowhere 'til we've got some meat.
