Drinking and Sailing

Download Song

There's nobody steering this old piece of junk
The Captains not moving, he fell from his bunk
I'm not proud, but I lifted the key to his trunk
La-la-la la-la-la laddies

We 're drinking and sailing
Sailing and drunk
The ship may be sinking
We 're sinking and bailing
And flailing and stinking
Sailing and drunk
It's better, far better than sober and sunk, boys
Better, far better than sober and sunk

I'm sprawled on the deck soaking my broken parts
Singing songs about lasses with sea urchin hearts
Won't you please just stop spinning, dear nautical charts
La-la-la la-la-la laddies

We 're drinking and sailing
Sailing and drunk
The ship may be sinking
We 're sinking and bailing
And flailing and stinking
Sailing and drunk
It's better, far better than sober and sunk, boys
Better, far better than sober and sunk

We just grazed an iceberg, I can't feel my feet
Weve lost both the spinnaker and the main sheet
Nobodys waiting for me back on shore
So what's it all for
What's it all for

We 're drinking and sailing
Sailing and drunk
The ship may be sinking
We 're sinking and bailing
And wailing and shrinking
Sailing and drunk
It's better, far better than sober and sunk, boys
Better, far better lots better I think
Better, far better than sober and sunk, boys
Better, far better than sober and sunk
