Fourteen hours a day, fourteen days in two weeks
A fortnight out to sea, I'm far from home, alright by me
Off the coast of Japan, then the Ivory Keys
I put my back into my distancing, the distant seas
I'll sail away, I'll sail away, forever and forever
Hoist the jig, skip the rope, do whatever you do
To get me into the blue
Alright by me
Hey mamasita, ain't it great?
Ain't it wonderful?
Hey mamasita, ain't it great
When you're worlds away?
Getting further away, putting distance between
Myself and all the shelves of smarmy, charmy human creeps
Interruptions are gone, lost in a reverie
Nothing but wind, waves and inspiration for my peeps
I'll sail away, I'll sail away, forever and forever
Hoist the jig, skip the rope, do whatever you do
To get me into the blue
Alright by me
Hey mamasita, ain't it great?
Ain't it wonderful?
Hey mamasita, ain't it great
When you're worlds away?
Now, I am guided by the stars
And by the red sun
I go where I want, for good or ill
Please, winds blow whither you will
Whither you will, whither you will
Hey mamasita, ain't it great?
Ain't it wonderful?
Hey mamasita, ain't it great
When you're worlds away?
Hey mamasita, ain't it great?
Ain't it wonderful?
Hey mamasita, ain't it great
When you're worlds away?
When you're worlds away, the things are great
When you're worlds away, the things are great
When you're worlds away, the things are great
