Sailing Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

We′re sailing on a ship to the ocean
Sailing on the ocean to the sea
We're sailing up a creek all the way to Mozambique
Sailing is the only life for me
There was a pirate with a peg leg and a parrot
Who bought his vegetables from farmers at the pier
He′d gladly trade a piece of eight for a carrot
But was dumb-floundered that corn cost a buccaneer
We're sailing on a ship to the ocean
Sailing on the ocean to the sea
We're sailing up a creek all the way to Mozambique
Sailing is the only life for me
There was a ship with a cargo of red paint
To a tragic fate everyone was doomed
It rammed a ship with a cargo of brown paint
The ships sank and the sailors were marooned
We′re sailing on a ship to the ocean
Sailing on the ocean to the sea


We′re sailing up a creek all the way to Mozambique
Sailing is the only life for me
A pelican was talking to his gull friend
About the way the walrus made him feel
They stopped in for a drink down at the sand bar
And caught a tuna from BB Kingfish and Lou Seal
We're sailing on a ship to the ocean
Sailing on the ocean to the sea
We′re sailing up a creek all the way to Mozambique
Sailing is the only life for me
We're sailing on a ship to the ocean
Sailing on the ocean to the sea
We′re sailing up a creek all the way to Mozambique
Sailing is the only life for me
Sailing up a creek all the way to Mozambique
Sailing is the only life for me
Sailing up a creek all the way to Mozambique
Sailing is the only life for me
