S​.​S. Sing​-​A​-​Long

lyrics

Now the mainland behind
Telescope only shows
Each little wave of white
Rolling along
eh eh eh eh eh eh eh

“There’s no sea I haven’t seen.”
“You’ve seen all seven?”
“All Seventeen!”

You see I’ve sailed the cellophane seas,
Held on the helm through the velveteen reefs.
Live to tell the tale of Toe Jam Oceans,
And now sail ‘til the Coast of Hansoap’s end.

Shorelines
On Coloring Book Land
Swept tides
Where maidens had mopped sand

Now the mainland behind
Telescope only shows
Each little wave of white
Rolling along
eh eh eh eh eh eh eh

Away we’d row in gravy boats
Through the Suppertime Sea.
Twas you and I seeing cups of wine
On the buttered brine beach.

Lost coves
Glowing with green light
Great gulfs
Full up with egg whites

Now the mainland behind
Telescope only shows
Each little wave of white
“To Adventure!”
Said the steamboat
OK!

Who trapped the sea’s
Swelling symphony in this shell?

O the things you hear
Are they really there?

How can it be
My ear echoing to itself?

O the world you’ll find
Is your empty mind

See the walrus and the sea lion
See the oysters at their bedside
See the starfish spinning slowly

I see belugas, see a great white
See a blue whale, see octopi
See the shrimp dressed in suit and tie

Now your getting it!

Long for the ride
Bathland ahoy
Hand on the helm
New cabin boy
All board the ship
Swab down the deck
Full steam ahead
S.S. Sing-a-long!
