G#5 G#5/E
We're on the sea
G#5 G#5/E G#5 G#5/E
We're in a ship and we are sailing by
G#5 G#5/E B5 F#5
All of the fish and all the octopi
G5 G#5 G#5/E G#5 G#m
We look them right into their octopi eyes
G#5 G#5/E
I'm on the sea
G#5 G#5/E G#5 G#5/E
I caught a mermaid looking right at me
G#5 G#5/E B5 F#5
I said, "Hey, baby. Why don't you come up top?
G5 E
You could flip flop while we cruise the Florida Quays."
F# G#m
Remember when we said,
F# G#m B
"You gonna see us on a red ship sailing."?

We'll think of you on your solid ground
F# G#m B E
We hope you think of us out here sailing around
Em E
Sailing around, sailing around Sailing
G#5 G#5/E G#5 G#5/E G#5 G#5/E
Polynesia, Polynesia, Poly nes ia
G#5 G#5/E B
Oceana, New Caledonia
F#5 G E
We dropped the hook on the Capricorn
F# G#m E F# G#m
Remember when we said,
G#m B
"You gonna see us with a sailor tan."?
E
We'll think of you and your stark white hands
F# G#m
Building your model ships
B E
Wishing you were sailing around
Em E
Sailing around Sailing around Sailing
B E B E B E
Polynesia, Polynesia, Polynesia
B E A
Oceana, oh New Caledonia

We dropped the hook on the Capricorn
