Hey ho little boat |
|
round about the world we go |
|
Never headed home |
|
la de doot n'dye day! |
|
Keep on moving 'til we stop |
|
name all the stars anew, |
|
ring these islands round and round |
|
under the rising moon. |
|
I laugh for the freedom of a night at sea, |
|
perilous though it may be. |
|
Secrets, name, and history |
|
Are sure to see me through. |
|
Hey ho, little boat... |
|
Keep on moving 'til we stop. |
|
Here is my dress, my sail. |
|
No longer locked upon the land |
|
but free on the rolling waves. |
|
I'll ring these islands round and round, |
|
gonna tear the lonely places down. |
|
Following the violet current now, |
|
it's easy to be brave! |
|
Hey ho, little boat... |
|
Sharks and shoes and lantern glow, |
|
Help me search for those I know. |
|
Down in the dark where the waves won't go, |
|
I'm bound to find my way. |
|
I'll ring these islands round and round, |
|
gonna tear the lonely places down! |
|
Riding the violet current now, |
|
It's easy to be brave! |
|
Hey ho, little boat... |
