At first we knew the sight Brimming with gleaming golden light As soon as we got there I knew it would end in a great big fight There was dancing and singing, crying and ringing Dancing as the boat goes down Dancing as the boat goes down By now they were lost for words, They were following us in great big herds As soon as we made the bay Swimming away from the circling birds There was dancing and singing, crying and ringing Dancing as the boat goes down Dancing as the boat goes down It was never said what they really did But we all knew when they ran and hid There was dancing and singing Crying and ringing, dancing as the boat goes down dancing as the boat goes down Dancing and singing, crying and ringing, They were moving below the waves They would never know the sun again.
