Wish I could sail in a big black boat
With a big white sail over me
And once in the while I'd pull into port
Drink some wine with a girl
But Sylvia said come to bed
It's so good to have you here
Sometime ago, when time past so slow
Too weak to know where to go
But now thinking back on what strikes me the most
Is I've made up my mind long before
So I'll cope with you, don't cope at all
So let's leave it all to the chef
Please send my regrets in case I forget
To PO Box nobody home
