Built a boat out of lace and smoke
but the holes wouldn't carry me to shore.
Met a mermaid at the bottom of the sea;
she wouldn't talk - she was such a bore.
Raise the anchor and set sail again.
Take the current where you will.
Captain's looking for land in sight,
but you know he never will.
Canoe Sinking Canoe...
In the meantime, on the other shore,
the widow writes his name.
Underwater the captain lies
'cause he swore he'd take the blame.
