On the seven seas there was a phantom ship acoming Shinin' in the dead of night I heard the crew a hummin' Tunes that sounded like the Rolling Stones and Leonard Cohen But they didn't know the words So I assumed that they was foreign CHORUS But I heard them just the same Doctor let me teach 'em I just wanna please 'em Doctor let me teach 'em I looked up in the sky, there was a phantom plane a comin' Shinin' in the dead of night I heard the pilot saying Poems that were written by John Keats and Robert Browning But he didn't know the words, so I suppose that it was nothing CHORUS Doctor, please believe me I know you won't deceive me But do these things I'm sein' Have any hidden meaning It's all good entertainment and it doesn't cost a penny So please, doc, let me teach 'em If I can only reach 'em CHORUS
