W e sail tonight for Singapore we're all as mad as hatters here
I've fallen for a tawny moor took off to the Land of Nod
D rank with all the Chinamen walked the sewers of Paris
I danced along a colored wind dangled from a rope of sand
You must say goodbye to me
W e sail tonight for Singapore don't fall asleep while you're ashore
Cross your heart and hope to die when you hear the children cry
L et marrowbone and cleaver choose while making feet for children's shoes
T hrough the alley back from hell when you hear that steeple bell
You must say goodbye to me
Wipe him down with g asoline till his arms are hard and mean
From now on boys thi s iron boat's your home So h eave away boys
W e sail tonight for Singapore take your blankets from the floor
Wash your mouth out by the door the whole town's made of iron ore
E very witness turns to steam they all become Italian dreams
F ill your pockets up with earth get yourself a dollar's worth
Away boys away boys heave away
The captain is a one-armed d warf he's throwing d ice along the wharf
In the land of the b lind the one-e yed man is King So t ake this ring
W e sail tonight for Singapore we're all as mad as hatters here
I've fallen for a tawny moor took off to the Land of Nod
D rank with all the Chinamen walked the sewers of Paris
I danced along a colored wind dangled from a rope of sand
You must say goodbye to me
