You'll say it's a dream, a lovely dream

I say it happened, strange as it may seem



I spoke last night to the ocean

I spoke last night to the sea

And from the ocean a voice came back

'Twas my Blue Jacket answering me



Ship ahoy

Ship ahoy

I can hear you, Sailor Boy



I threw a kiss in the ocean

It floated out on the sea

And from the ocean a kiss came back

'Twas my Blue Jacket answering me



[coda:]

Ship ahoy

Ship ahoy

Ship ahoy, Sailor Boy, ship ahoy
