Raise the sail!
Heave ho!
Set the course, man,
Set the course!
Heave ho!
Feed the fish, man,
Feed the fish!
Heave ho!
Learn to swim, man,
Learn to swim!
Too late!
Heave ho! heave ho,
Over the side we go.
Heave ho! heave ho,
At low tide and high tide we go.
It’s better’n, better’n,
Better’n than be’n inside!
‘Too late!’ she cried,
As she tried and tried to
Sit astride of the
Raging tide.
‘Too late!’ she cried.
‘Too late. Too late,
‘Too late
‘To wait!’
Raise the sail!
Set the course!
Feed the fish!
Learn to swim!
Too late. Too late.
Too late.
Can’t wait!
Fish bait!
Will she wait for me
At the gate?
Will she know that I
Sigh for her?
Will we ever be?
A soldier I -
Paid to do or die,
A man who must only plan for
Tomorrow.
Will she be brave for me,
And save for me?
Will she pray for me or
Stray from me?
Will we never be?
A soldier I -
Paid to do or die,
A man who must only plan for
Tomorrow.
Will she wait for me?
Will she be brave for me?
Will she pray for me?
Or will she stray from me?
A soldier I -
Paid to do or die,
A man who must only plan for
Tomorrow.
Will she know that I
Died for her?
Tomorrow.
I want to be a king -
It’s the only thing I haven’t been.
From soldier to lover, and
Everything between;
Yes, I want to be a king.
A king, a king
He wants to be.
A king can do this,
A king can do that.
He can raze a town
Or just drop in for a chat:
Yes, I want to be a king.
A king, a king
He wants to be.
I want to be a king -
To be beyond “I cannot do”.
To leave that behind for ever, and
Always get my due.
Yes, I want to be a king.
A king, a king
He wants to be.
A king can do this,
A king can do that.
You could rip my gown, and
Everywhere, a welcome mat!
Yes, I want you to be a king!
