[Intro]
Ready?
1, 2, 1-2-3-4
Out upon the islands on a cool summer night
Buddy, you don't got to hurry. Take your time
What you need is on the menu, and you get it tonight
Buddy, you got womens on your mind
Could this be magic
Or could this be love?
Could this turn tragic?
You know that magic often does
And I see lonely ships upon the water
Better save the women and children first
Sail away with someone's daughter
Better save the women and children first
I hear music on the landin', and there's laughter in the air
Just could be your boat is comin' in
Yeah, y' leanin' back, and your foot tappin', and got your head right
There's a full moon out tonight, baby, let's begin
And she said, "Could this be magic
Or could this be love?"
Uh-oh, and I said, "Could this turn tragic?
You know that magic often does"
And I see lonely ships upon the water
Better save the women and children first
Sail away with someone's daughter
Better save the women and children first
Edward?
Thank you
[Guitar solo]
And she says, "Could this be magic
Or could this be love?"
And I say, "Could this turn tragic?
You know that magic often does"
And I see lonely ships upon the water
Better save the women and children first
Sail away with someone's daughter
Better save the women and children first, yes, sir
