Polynesia by Mother Mother Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're on the sea
We're in a ship and we are sailing by
All of the fish and all the octopi
We look them right into their octopi eyes

[Verse 2]
I'm on the sea
I caught a mermaid looking right at me
I said, "Hey, baby, why don't you come up top?
You could flip-flop while we cruise the Florida Keys"

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Remember when we said
"You gonna see us on a red ship sailing"?
We'll think of you on your solid ground
We hope you think of us out here sailing around
Sailing around, sailing around
Sailing

[Chorus]
Polynesia, Polynesia, Polynesia
Oceana, oh, New Caledonia
We dropped the hook on the Capricorn
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Remember when we said
"You gonna see us with a sailor tan"?
We'll think of you and your stark white hands
Building your model ships, wishing you were sailing around
Sailing around. sailing around
Sailing

[Chorus]
Polynesia, Polynesia, Polynesia
Oceana, oh, New Caledonia
We dropped the hook on the Capricorn
