We're cracking up as the sun beats down
Not an ounce of land have we found
The Captain keeps pointing out to the sea
I can sense another stupid mutiny, oh no.
Creepy crawler crawling on my knee
And I don't know exactly just what I've seen
It does a little dance while I do a little singing
The only ones to trust better mean a thing or two.
Everyone thinks they sweat of their brow
Who's side will you fight for now?
Might your friends be really enemies?
Who can you trust out on the open seas anymore?
A man who can lead
at the edge of the sea
as we go o'er a waterfall
and it plummets us into the deep!
Hey! Hey! Hey!Hey!
Who's side will you fight for now?
Hey! Hey! Hey!Hey!
When the Captains run your ship a-ground?
Hey! Hey! Hey!Hey!
Who's side will you fight for now?
Hey! Hey! Hey!Hey!
When the Captains run your ship a-ground?
