Now down the course of history On this you must agree The bravest men will always knows Who sailed across the sea
(Chorus) Oh, the life of the sea is the life for me No lovers of land are we La la la la, La la la la, La la la la la la Oh, the life of the sea is the life for me No lovers of land are we We love it despite it Delighted to fight it What other life could there be?
Ulysses, he was bold and brave As brave as he can be And this is when the sea was strange As strange as seas can be
(Chorus)
The Romans were a fighting lot Their ships were fast and long They won the Mediterranean With sailors big and strong
(Chorus)
The Vikings never gave a thought To winters, cold and ice And sailed to upper latitudes Beneath the Northern Lights
(Chorus)
For me! Me! Me! Me! What other life could there be?
I heard a tale of travelers Who feared they'd reach the edge But long before, a serpent came And ate 'em up instead!
