To Spain

Patrick Cannell © 2017

We're sailing to Spain on a ship with wheels,
The rudder's broke and the engine's seized.
The Captain's high on special brew,
He's hoping that you'll tell him what to do.
The navigator's as drunk as a lord,
He never could tell his south from his north.
We might not get you there alive
But at least you'll have an interesting time.

So if you've always wanted to go to Spain,
The safest way is to travel by aeroplane.

Sweet talk the cook if you value your life,
Rumour has it he poisoned his wife.
The tickets are cheap and the drink is free
And the name of the ship is Calamity.

So if you've always wanted to go to Spain,
The safest way is to travel by aeroplane.
