When I was a young boy I wanted to sail 'round the world

The lustful pioneer will acknowledge no frontier

I remember you by thunderclap in the sky

Lightning flash tempers flare, Round the Horn if you dare
G
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
D A D
Lucky just to keep afloat. Da oh da oh Day da da da da Oh oh-oh-oh oh

So why should it stop me? I'll conquer and stay free
[Chorus 2]

Ah come on all you lads, let's forget and forgive

There's a world to explore, tales to tell back on shore

I just spent six months in a leaky boat

Six months in a leaky boat Da oh da oh Day da da da da Oh oh-oh-oh oh
