We sail tonight for Singapore, we're all as mad as hatters here   I've fallen for a tawny Moor, took off to the land of Nod   Drank with all the Chinamen, walked the sewers of Paris   I danced along a colored wind, dangled from a rope of sand   You must say goodbye to me      We sail tonight for Singapore, don't fall asleep while you're ashore   Cross your heart and hope to die when you hear the children cry   Let marrow bone and cleaver choose while making feet for children shoes   Through the alley, back from hell, when you hear that steeple bell   You must say goodbye to me      Wipe him down with gasoline 'til his arms are hard and mean   From now on boys this iron boat's your home   So heave away, boys      We sail tonight for Singapore, take your blankets from the floor   Wash your mouth out by the door, the whole town's made of iron ore   Every witness turns to steam, they all become Italian dreams   Fill your pockets up with earth, get yourself a dollar's worth   Away boys, away boys, heave away      The captain is a one-armed dwarf, he's throwing dice along the wharf   In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king, so take this ring      We sail tonight for Singapore, we're all as mad as hatters here   I've fallen for a tawny Moor, took off to the land of Nod   Drank with all the Chinamen, walked the sewers of Paris   I drank along a colored wind, I dangled from a rope of sand   You must say goodbye to me
