I built a ship upon the stairs
all made up of the backs of chairs
and filled it full of sofa pillows
to go sailing on the billows

Sailing
Sailing
Let's go sailing
Sailing on the sea

I called to Lucy walking by,
Beware of sharks with hungry eyes
These waters are unsafe, you see
Unless you're on this ship with me

I sailed the seas to Portugal
So I couldn't hear my mother call
and though it's late and time for bed
Oh, I would rather sail instead chorus
