[00:04.93]Singapore
[00:06.00]
[00:07.48]We sail tonight for Singapore,
[00:08.61]we're all as mad as hatters here
[00:10.99]I've fallen for a tawny Moor,
[00:13.39]took off to the land of Nod
[00:15.96]Drank with all the Chinamen,
[00:18.28]walked the sewers of Paris
[00:20.77]I danced along a colored wind,
[00:23.00]dangled from a rope of sand
[00:25.64]You must say goodbye to me
[00:29.43]
[00:30.43]We sail tonight for Singapore,
[00:32.88]don't fall asleep while you're ashore
[00:34.98]Cross your heart and hope to die
[00:37.78]when you hear the children cry
[00:40.06]Let marrow bone and cleaver choose
[00:42.56]while making feet for children shoes
[00:44.90]Through the alley, back from hell,
[00:47.20]when you hear that steeple bell
[00:49.64]You must say goodbye to me
[00:53.42]
[00:54.69]Wipe him down with gasoline
[00:57.01]'til his arms are hard and mean
[00:59.41]From now on boys this iron boat's your home
[01:05.91]So heave away, boys
[01:08.55]
[01:11.05]We sail tonight for Singapore,
[01:13.53]take your blankets from the floor
[01:16.23]Wash your mouth out by the door,
[01:18.57]the whole town's made of iron ore
[01:21.03]Every witness turns to steam,
[01:23.43]they all become Italian dreams
[01:25.71]Fill your pockets up with earth,
[01:28.52]get yourself a dollar's worth
[01:30.52]Away boys, away boys, heave away
[01:36.27]
[01:37.95]The captain is a one-armed dwarf,
[01:40.36]he's throwing dice along the wharf
[01:42.44]In the land of the blind
[01:44.31]the one-eyed man is king, so take this ring
[01:52.82]
[01:54.48]We sail tonight for Singapore,
[01:56.56]we're all as mad as hatters here
[01:58.98]I've fallen for a tawny Moor,
[02:01.64]took off to the land of Nod
[02:04.73]Drank with all the Chinamen,
[02:06.37]walked the sewers of Paris
[02:08.74]I drank along a colored wind,
[02:11.44]I dangled from a rope of sand
[02:13.53]You must say goodbye to me
