Oh the tCime will come uEmp when the wiFnds will sCtop
And the brAmeeze will cFease to be bCreathin'
Like the sCtillness in the wEmind 'fore the huFrricane bCegins
The hoCur when the sFhip coGmes iCn.
And the sEmeas will split and the sFhip will Chit
And the saEmnds on the shForeline will be shCaking
Then the tCide will sEmound and the waFves will poCund
And the moCrning wFill be GbreakinCg.
Oh the fCishes will laEmugh as they sFwim out of the Cpath
And the sAmeagulls thFey'll be sCmiling
And the rCocks on the sEmand will pFroudly sCtand
The hCour that the sFhip coGmes Cin.
And the wEmords that are used for to gFet the ship cConfused
Will nEmot be understFood as they're sCpoken
For the cEmhains of the sea will have bFusted in the nCight
And be bCuried at the bFottom of the GoceaCn.
Oh a sCong will lEmift as the maFinsail shCifts
And the bAmoat drifts oFn to the shCoreline
And the sCun will reEmspect every fFace on the deCck
The hCour that the sFhip coGmes Cin.
Then the sEmands will roll out a caFrpet of gCold
For your wEmeary tFoes to be a-toCuchin'
And the sChip's wise Emmen will reFmind you once aCgain
That the wChole wide woFrld is wGatchiCn'.

Oh the fCoes will rEmise with the slFeep still in their eCyes
And they'll jAmerk from their bFeds and think they're dCreamin'
But they'll piCnch themselves and sqEmueal and they'll kFnow that it's for rCeal
The hCour that the sFhip coGmes Cin.
Then they'll rEmaise their hands sayin' we'll mFeet all your deCmands
But we'll sEmhout from the bFow your days are nCumbered
And like PhCaraoh's tEmribe they'll be drFownded in the tCide
Like GolCiath, theyF'll be cGonquerCed.
