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
