We 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
Em
Drank with all the Chinamen walked the sewers of Paris
Bm
I danced along a colored wind dangled from a rope of sand
F# Bm
You must say goodbye to me
We 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
Let marrowbone and cleaver choose
while making feet for children's shoes
Through the alley back from hell
when you hear that steeple bell
You must say goodbye to me
Em Bm Em Bm
Wipe him down with gasoline till his arms are hard and mean
Em Bm D
From now on boys this iron boat's your home
F#
So heave away boys
We 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
Every witness turns to steam
they all become Italian dreams
Fill your pockets up with earth
get yourself a dollar's worth
Away boys away boys heave away
The captain is a one-armed dwarf
he's throwing dice along the wharf
In the land of the blind
the one-eyed man is King
So take this ring
We 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
Drank with all the Chinamen walked the sewers of Paris
I drank along a colored wind I dangled from a rope of sand
You must say goodbye to me
