Lyrics
I set out on the water, thought I'd catch a big ol’ fish,
But my boat’s got a mind of its own, it’s made of pure mischief.
The engine sputters, then it roars, and the waves just laugh at me,
I’m not quite sure where I’m going, but I’m sure it’s not the sea!
Oh, boats, boats, they never do what they’re supposed to,
They steer you in circles and they make you think you’re lost too.
With a hull that’s always leaking and a sail that’s on the fritz,
Boats, oh boats, you’re giving me the fits!
I tried to navigate the stars, but it’s cloudy as can be,
And my compass is doing donuts like it’s having a jubilee.
The waves are high, the wind is wild, my hat’s been blown away,
I’m trying to stay afloat, but it seems I'm in a bay!
Oh, boats, boats, they never do what they’re supposed to,
They steer you in circles and they make you think you’re lost too.
With a hull that’s always leaking and a sail that’s on the fritz,
Boats, oh boats, you’re giving me the fits!
I thought I’d be a sailor, I’d be out there feeling grand,
But I’m stuck here with my fishing rod and a soggy, flapping band.
If you see me on the shoreline, just be sure to give a cheer,
‘Cause getting back to dry land is my only goal this year!
Oh, boats, boats, they never do what they’re supposed to,
They steer you in circles and they make you think you’re lost too.
With a hull that’s always leaking and a sail that’s on the fritz,
Boats, oh boats, you’re giving me the fits!
So here’s to all the sailors who’ve been tossed by waves and squalls,
We’ll raise a toast to all the boats that make us laugh and fall.
For every wild adventure, every splash and silly prank,
We love you, dear old boat, even if you sank!
