Six Months in a Leaky Boat

When I was a young boy I wanted to sail 'round the world That's the life for me, living on the sea Spirit of a sailor, circumnavigates the globe The lust of a pioneer acknowledge no frontier I remember you by thunderclap in the sky Lightning flash, tempers flare; round the horn if you dare I just spent six months in a leaky boat Six months in a leaky boat Dah-dah-dah-dah-ya-ah, yah-dah-dah-dah-do, yah-da-ow Aotearoa, rugged individual Glisten like a pearl at the bottom of the world The tyranny of distance doesn't stop the cavalier So why should it stop me? I'll conquer and stay free Ah, c'mon all you lads, lets forget and forgive There's a world to explore, tales to tell back on shore I just spent six months in a leaky boat Lucky just to keep afloat Dah-dah-dah-dah-ya-ah, yah-dah-dah-dah-do, yah-da-ow Shipwrecked love can be cruel, don't be fooled by her kind There's a wind in my sails, We'll protect and prevail I just spent six months in a leaky boat Nothing to it, leaky boat Dah-dah-dah-dah-ya-ah, yah-dah-dah-dah-do, yah-da-ow --- Six Months in a Leaky Boat - Ted Leo & the Pharmacists
