Let's set sail across the sea like buccaneers You and I We'll live beneath the clouded and rain-streaked sky Across the pages of this ancient tale Let's set sail across the sea You and I
We'll discover distant lands on our way By and by We need no compass The sun will be our guide We'll offend those who say we're going to fail As through the sea we glide
And the gentlemen all sing Hey-ho la-da-de da-do The gentlemen all sing Hey-ho hey-ho Hey-ho
The rocks will be sharp as knives in the night At our heels the darkened beasts will snap and bite The winds will howl and the hands will fall their rain Robbing us of laughter Robbing us of sight
And the gentlemen all sing Hey-ho la-da-de da-do The gentlemen all sing Hey-ho hey-ho Hey-ho
We'll skirt around the isle of lamentation And drop anchor at the port of damnation There we'll drink our fill and head off again Across the sea like buccaneers, you and I
And the gentlemen all sing Hey-ho la-da-de da-do The gentlemen all sing Hey-ho hey-ho Once again the gentleman sing Hey-ho la-da-de da-do The gentlemen all sing Hey-ho hey-ho
