Singapore

Bm

We sail tonight for Singapore, we're all as mad as hatters here

I've fallen for a tawny moor, took off to the Land of Nod

Em

Drank with all the Chinamen, walked the sewers of Paris

Bm

I danced along a colored wind, dangled from a rope of sand

You must say goodbye to me

We sail tonight for Singapore, don't fall asleep while you're ashore

Cross your heart and hope to die, when you hear the children cry

Let marrowbone and cleaver choose, while making feet for children's shoes

Through the alley, back from hell, when you hear that steeple bell

You must say goodbye to me.

Em Bm Em Bm

Wipe him down with gasoline, till his arms are hard and mean

From now on, boys, this iron boat's your home

So heave away, boys

We sail tonight for Singapore, take your blankets from the floor

Wash your mouth out by the door, the whole town's made of iron ore

Every witness turns to steam, they all become Italian dreams

Fill your pockets up with earth, get yourself a dollar's worth

Away boys

away boys,

heave away

The captain is a one-armed dwarf, he's throwing dice along the wharf

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King

So take this ring

We sail tonight for Singapore, we're all as mad as hatters here

I've fallen for a tawny moor, took off to the Land of Nod

Drank with all the Chinamen, walked the sewers of Paris

I drank along a colored wind, I dangled from a rope of sand

You must say goodbye to me
