My ship has sails that are made of silk
The decks are trimmed with gold
And of Jam and spice there‘s a paradise in the hold
My ship’s a glow with a million pearls
And rubies fill each bin
The sun sits high in a sapphire sky
When my ship comes in I can’t wait the years
‘Til it appears One fine day one spring
But the pearls and such
They won’t mean much If there’s missing just one thing

I do not care if that day arrived
That dream will never be
If the ship I sing doesn’t also bring
My own true love tome
If the ship I sing doesn’t also bring
My own true love to me
