Once Upon An Ocean - Kevin Ayers

Once upon an ocean

We dream a ship to sail

When it start leaking

We had to learn to bail

All that mattered it was

Keeping the ship afloat

But we couldn’t work together

We become a drunken boat

Captain shouted out

Nobody hear him speak.

Oh no

Everyone went rushing round going crazy

Trying to find that leak

Waves getting heavier

We don’t stand much chance

Then we heard that old familiar music

And we just had to dance

Our ship is sinking but we don’t give a damn

No, no, no, no

Our ship is sinking but we don’t give a damn

No, no, no, no, no
