Lyrics

We sail tonight for singapore,
 were all as mad as hatters here
 ive fallen for a tawny moor,
 took off to the land of nod
 drank with all the chinamen,
 walked the sewers of paris
 i danced along a colored wind,
 dangled from a rope of sand
 you must say goodbye to me
 We sail tonight for singapore,
 dont fall asleep while youre ashore
 cross your heart and hope to die
 when you hear the children cry
 let marrow bone and cleaver choose
 while making feet for children shoes
 through the alley, back from hell,
 when you hear that steeple bell
 you must say goodbye to me
 Wipe him down with gasoline
 til his arms are hard and mean
 from now on boys this iron boats your home
 so heave away, boys
 We sail tonight for singapore,
 take your blankets from the floor
 wash your mouth out by the door,
 the whole towns made of iron ore
 every witness turns to steam,
 they all become italian dreams
 fill your pockets up with earth,
 get yourself a dollars worth
 away boys, away boys, heave away
 The captain is a one-armed dwarf,
 hes throwing dice along the wharf
 in the land of the blind
 the one-eyed man is king, so take this ring
 We sail tonight for singapore,
 were all as mad as hatters here
 ive fallen for a tawny moor,
 took off to the land of nod
 drank with all the chinamen,
 walked the sewers of paris
 i drank along a colored wind,
 i dangled from a rope of sand
 you must say goodbye to me
