Polynesia - Mother Mother

We’re on the sea

We’re in a ship and we are sailing by

All of the fish and all the octopi

We look them right into their octopi eyes

I’m on the sea

I caught a mermaid looking right at me

I said, «Hey, baby.

Why don’t you come up top?

You could flip flop while we cruise the Florida Keys.»

Remember when we said

«You gonna see us on a red ship sailing.»?

We’ll think of you on your solid ground

We hope you think of us out here sailing around

Sailing around, sailing around

Sailing

Polynesia, Polynesia, Polynesia

Oceana, oh New Caledonia

We dropped the hook on the Capricorn

Remember when we said

«You gonna see us with a sailor tan.»?

We’ll think of you and your stark white hands

Building your model ships

Wishing you were sailing around

Sailing around.

sailing around

Sailing

Polynesia, Polynesia, Polynesia

Oceana, oh New Caledonia

We dropped the hook on the Capricorn
