Small Boat Calypso

[Verse 1]
If you want to be happy and to lead a good life
Leave-a your children, leave-a your wife
Take all the money that you haven't got
Buy yourself a rowboat, a speedboat, or yacht
And when you get them a-listen to me
Hoist up your anchor, make for the sea

[Chorus]
For from a logical point of view
Life on the water, life for you

[Verse 2]
Way out on the water, man, you pay no mind
To friend and acquaintance that rob-a you blind
You got a-no worry ’bout money or rent
Or when you come home, "A-tell me where you went"
It's a good clean air all ovеr the place
And no taxi or bus gonna breathе in your face

[Chorus]
For from a logical point of view
Life on the water, life for you

[Verse 3]
Man, you stand at the helm, or the [?], or oar
Sky the ceiling, ocean the floor
Suntan your face and your body the while
Your teeth'll look whiter whenever you smile
Don’t have to wait for light to turn red
Out on the water, full speed ahead

[Chorus]
For from a logical point of view
Life on the water, life for you

[Verse 4]
So, maybe it's not to such great extent
Nothing is life, one hundred percent
But compared to land, now, I tell you no lies
You go on your boat, you touch paradise
River or bay side, ocean or lake
Gonna be Eden, minus a snake

[Chorus]
For from a logical point of view
Life on the water, life for you
