Mother Mother Polynesia lyrics

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 got a mermaid looking right at me
I said, "Hey baby, why don't you come up top?
You can flip flop while we cruise the Florida Keys"

Remember when we said
"You're gonna see us on a red ship sailing?"
We'll think of you on your solid ground
We hope you'll think of us out here sailing around
Sailing around, sailing around, sailing


Polynesia, Polynesia, Polynesia
Oceania, oh, New Caledonia
We dropped the hook on the Capricorn

Remember when we said
"You're gonna see us with a sailor's 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
Oceania, oh, New Caledonia
We dropped the hook on the Capricorn
