Six Months in a Leaky Boat

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I was a young boy I wanted to sail around the world That's the life for me Living on the sea Spirit of a sailor Circumnavigates the globe The lust of a pioneer Will acknowledge no frontier [Pre-Chorus] I remember you by Thunderclap in the sky Lightning flash, tempers flare 'Round the horn, if you dare [Chorus] I just spent six months in a leaky boat Lucky just to keep afloat Da da da da, daaa da doh doh doh doh doh da doh doh [Verse 2] Aotearoa Rugged individual Glisten like a pearl At the bottom of the world The tyranny of distance Didn't stop the cavalier So why should it stop me? I'll conquer and stay free [Pre-Chorus] Ah, c'mon all you lads Let's forget and forgive There's a world to explore Tales to tell back on shore [Chorus] I just spent six months in a leaky boat Six months in a leaky boat Da da da da, daaa da doh doh doh doh doh da doh doh [Instrumental Break] [Pre-Chorus] Ship-wrecked love can be cruel Don't be fooled by her kind There's a wind in my sails Will protect and prevail [Chorus] I just spent six months in a leaky boat Nothing to it, leaky boat Da da da da, daaa da doh doh doh doh doh da doh doh
