Arthur Sullivan - Sullivan: HMS Pinafore, Act 1: "We Sail the Ocean Blue" (Sailors) lyrics
Artist: Arthur Sullivan
album: Gilbert & Sullivan: HMS Pinafore
We sail the ocean blue,
And our saucy ship's a beauty;
We're sober men and true,
And attentive to our duty.
When the balls whistle free
O'er the bright blue sea,
We stand to our guns all day;
When at anchor we ride
On the Portsmouth tide,
We have plenty of time for play.
Ahoy! Ahoy!
The balls whistle free
Ahoy! Ahoy!
Over the bright blue sea,
We stand to our guns, to our guns all day.
We sail the ocean blue,
And our saucy ship's a beauty;
We're sober men and true,
And attentive to our duty.
Our saucy ship's a beauty,
We're attentive to our duty,
We're sober men and true,
We sail the ocean blue.
And our saucy ship's a beauty;
We're sober men and true,
And attentive to our duty.
When the balls whistle free
O'er the bright blue sea,
We stand to our guns all day;
When at anchor we ride
On the Portsmouth tide,
We have plenty of time for play.
Ahoy! Ahoy!
The balls whistle free
Ahoy! Ahoy!
Over the bright blue sea,
We stand to our guns, to our guns all day.
We sail the ocean blue,
And our saucy ship's a beauty;
We're sober men and true,
And attentive to our duty.
Our saucy ship's a beauty,
We're attentive to our duty,
We're sober men and true,
We sail the ocean blue.
