Lyrics

Dear Betty, some we saw signaling
Dear Betty, some we couldn't see
No sign from the waves, things are somewhat odd
Judging by what I could earlier gather
Do you plan to be a long time at sea?
No, sir, not I, sir, I reply, not me
Seeing a glimmer of evil in his eye
I thought it best if I cried
What can the sailors do when the captain feels blue?
A ship is on the ocean, so to speak
And what if the ship should spring a leak?
What do they expect of me?
Now without a pail you're prepared to open
Watching shifting seascapes awaiting for you
This is a long song, the sound goes on
Judging by what I could earlier gather
