^AA sail on the horizon's got^D a land fall rendezvous The ^Acaptain steers a well know course ^DHe steers her straight and true As he t^Grims the sheets ^Dhe sings a song He ^Emlearned on boats and^A bars A s^Gailor spends his Chr^Distmas In a h^Aarbor 'neath the stars^D"

He's travel through the doldrums, typhoons and hurricanes He's logged a million soggy miles with water on the brain But Christmas is the season better suited for dry land He'll tell some lies, meet some spies And dance barefoot in the sand Chorus
