We're on the sea 
We're in a ship and we are sailing by 
All of the fish and all the octopi 
We look them right into their octopi eyes 

I'm on the sea 
I caught a mermaid looking right at me 
I said, "Hey, baby. Why don't you come up top? 
You could flip flop while we cruise the Florida Quays." 

Remember when we said, 
"You gonna see us on a red ship sailing."? 
We'll think of you on your solid ground 
We hope you think of us out here sailing around 
Sailing around, sailing around 
Sailing 

Polynesia, Polynesia, Polynesia 
Oceana, oh New Caledonia 
We dropped the hook on the Capricorn 
Remember when we said, 
"You gonna see us with a sailor tan."? 
We'll think of you and your stark white hands 
Building your model ships 
Wishing you were sailing around 
Sailing around Sailing around 
Sailing 

Polynesia, Polynesia, Polynesia 
Oceana, oh New Caledonia 
We dropped the hook on the Capricorn
