On the seven seas there was a phantom ship acoming  Shinin' in the dead of night  I heard the crew a hummin'  Tunes that sounded like the Rolling Stones and Leonard Cohen  But they didn't know the words  So I assumed that they was foreign  CHORUS  But I heard them just the same  Doctor let me teach 'em  I just wanna please 'em  Doctor let me teach 'em  I looked up in the sky, there was a phantom plane a comin'  Shinin' in the dead of night  I heard the pilot saying  Poems that were written by John Keats and Robert Browning  But he didn't know the words, so I suppose that it was nothing  CHORUS  Doctor, please believe me  I know you won't deceive me  But do these things I'm sein'  Have any hidden meaning  It's all good entertainment and it doesn't cost a penny  So please, doc, let me teach 'em  If I can only reach 'em  CHORUS
