I've been overseas for almost a year
Any time now precious land should appear

I've been away from my lover so long
Look there matey, but I could be wrong


Oh land ahoy, land ahoy, sailor boy
(Land ahoy land ahoy Papa's toy l'ahoy)


Listen here matey, in an hour or so
We'll be sitting on the land that we know
We'll leave this ship and run to outstreched arms

And soon we'll be living with our lover's charms

Oh land ahoy, land ahoy, sailor boy

(Land ahoy land ahoy Papa's toy l'ahoy)

Listen here matey, in an hour or so

We'll be sitting on the land that we know
We'll leave this ship and run to outstreched arms
And soon we'll be living with our lover's charms


Oh land ahoy, land ahoy, sailor boy
(Land ahoy land ahoy Papa's toy l'ahoy)
