Mother Mother - Polynesia Lyrics

We're on the sea
We're in a ship and we are sailin' 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 lookin' 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're 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 sailin' around
Sailin' around
Sailin' around
Sailin'

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 tan"
We'll think of you and your stark white hands
Buildin' your model ships, wishin' you were sailin' around
Sailin' around
Sailin' around
Sailin'

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