| Let’s get this boat in the water
|
| With the oars where they oughta
|
| We’ll roll down this river to the sea
|
| We’ll sail off in the sunset
|
| To some place we ain’t been yet
|
| Just to say that we’ve been there, you and me
|
| There are islands in the ocean
|
| You can’t reach except by boatin'
|
| Where the coconuts and mangos fall from trees
|
| On the beaches soft as cotton
|
| All your troubles soon forgotten
|
| You can toss 'em up, loose 'em in the breeze
|
| Let’s get this boat in the water
|
| With the oars where they oughta
|
| We’ll roll down this river to the sea
|
| We’ll sail off in the sunset
|
| To some place we ain’t been yet
|
| Just to say that we’ve been there, you and me
|
| If we never make it back, hell, we won’t care
|
| Just as long as we can say that we’ve been there
|
| If we want to see some more of
|
| We can sail to Bora Bora
|
| Where they say the fish are bitin' there all day
|
| And the natives one supposes
|
| Run around without their clothes
|
| You can feel your inhibitions slip away
|
| Let’s get this boat in the water
|
| With the oars where they oughta
|
| We’ll roll down this river to the sea
|
| We’ll sail off in the sunset
|
| To some place we ain’t been yet
|
| Just to say that we’ve been there, you and me
|
| Oh, we can say that we’ve been there, you and me |
