There's so many fish in the sea We're just, we're just, we're just, we're just Riding on the waves We are, we are riding on the waves [Chorus] Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy (Ship ahoy, now, yeah) Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy [Verse 2] Oh, they're coming by the hundreds, coming by the thousands, too Look over the horizon, see the sun shining down on you [Chorus] Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy (My, ship ahoy) Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy Ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy, ship ahoy [Post-Chorus] Can't you feel the motion of the ocean?

There's a man, man over there Tell me, what do you see? There's nothing to lose, oh, Lord Tell me, look over there, tell me, what do you see? Going to the land of liberty (I'm so tired) Riding on the waves of the ocean...
