Let’s sail all day, away, away
To the splendid Spanish Main
And the sultry seas of the Caribbees
And skies that never rain!
As pirates bold with bags of gold
And cutlasses and things,
We’ll pack doubloons and silver spoons
In chests with iron rings.
And these we’ll carry and secretly bury
In cannibal isles afar;
Like Captain Kidd, when they’re safely hid
We won’t tell where they are.
Let’s sail all day, away, away
To the splendid Spanish Main
And the sultry seas of the Caribbees
—But at night sail home again!
