lyrics

The captain says, “Don’t rock the boat, don’t rock the boat”
The Bering Sea, the great north sea, is difficult to navigate
And she just smiles, she just smiles, because she knows she has the captain beat
And the captain sighs, the captain sighs, as a swell washes him out to sea

You can sail the whole world wide
And not find a love as pure as mine
The people of the sea
We still believe, we still believe

And ice floats by, icebergs float by, but the captain is too cold to care
And the Leviathan, the great Leviathan, comes and swallows the captain whole
After three long days, three long days, he spits him back onto her shores
And she stands there with arms like tentacles longing to hold him once again

You can sail the whole world wide
And not find a love as pure as mine
The people of the sea
We still believe, we still believe
