One morning I left the harbour.
I set forth with a carefree heart,
not knowing where North was
and hoping only for a good wind
Mmmmm a good wind.
I crossed paths with a thousand people,
none of them smarter than me.
They fought the hurricane,
holding fast to any odd thing.
Mmmmm any odd thing
Come on and dance, dance, my life,
like a ship rolling on the waves,
roll, roll, roll, my life
like a star, like the universe.
Come on and sway, sway, sway, my life
like a charriot on a rocky path.
Bang, bang, bang, my life,
like a plane ripping through the air.
Some nights we're blue at first,
when storms get too heavy.
To ward off bad luck
we sing love songs yet again
Mmmmm love songs
Come on and dance, dance, my life,
like a ship rolling on the waves,
roll, roll, roll, my life
like a star, like the universe.
Come on and sway, sway, sway, my life
like a charriot on a rocky path.
Bang, bang, bang, my life,
like a plane ripping through the air.
[spoken]
Come on, dance, my life, dance
Show us how well you can dance.
You are pretty, appealing, arousing, captivating.
You are a woman
And, you see, tonight I look at you more closely than usual.
For once, I'm in no hurry.
Come on, dance , my life, be nice.
Give me a smile, you can sile so well when you want.
I love you, I love you, I love you so much.
Come on and dance, dance, my life,
like a ship rolling on the waves,
roll, roll, roll, my life
like a star, like the universe.
Come on and sway, sway, sway, my life
like a charriot on a rocky path.
Bang, bang, bang, my life,
like a plane ripping through the air.
Come on and dance, dance, my life,
like a ship rolling on the waves,
roll, roll, roll, my life
like a star, like the universe.
Come on and sway, sway, sway, my life
like a charriot on a rocky path.
Bang, bang, bang, my life,
like a plane ripping through the air.
