Sailing Off to Singapore

　　I'd like to sail to Singapore,

　　Jakarta or Rangoon,

　　but our boat is barely moving

　　on this windless afternoon.

　　I'd steer my ship to Stockholm,

　　set a course for Southern Spain,

　　I'd be guided by a lighthouse

　　off the rocky coast of Maine.

　　I'd cut past Krakatau

　　and chart a course to Katmandu.

　　I would voyage into Venice,

　　and I'd cruise around Corfu.

　　I'd glide through the Galapagos,

　　and drift through the Bahamas,

　　where I'd navigate by starlight

　　in my mariner's pajamas.

　　I'd skim the seven salty seas

　　and plow the briny waves.

　　I would circumnavigate the globe

　　exploring coastal caves.

　　I'll shortly start my journey.

　　I'll begin my travels soon,

　　in this boat parked in our driveway

　　on this windless afternoon.
