Fourteen hours a day, fourteen days in two weeks A fortnight out to sea, I'm far from home, alright by me Off the coast of Japan, then the Ivory Keys I put my back into my distancing the distant seas I'll sail away, I'll sail away forever and forever Hoist the jig, skip the rope, do whatever you do To get me into the blue Alright by me
Hey mamasita, ain't it great? Ain't it wonderful? Hey mamasita, ain't it great When you're worlds away?
Getting further away, putting distance between Myself and all the shelves of smarmy, charmy human creeps Interruptions are gone, lost in a reverie Nothing but wind, waves, and inspiration for my peeps I'll sail away, I'll sail away forever and forever Hoist the jig, skip the rope, do whatever you do To get me into the blue Alright by me
Hey mamasita, ain't it great? Ain't it wonderful? Hey mamasita, ain't it great When you're worlds away?
Now I am guided by the stars And by the red sun I go where I want For good or ill Please winds blow whither you will
