Song Description

the song is about what it would have been like to live way back in the days when we didnt have the medical knowledge we do today,set on a boat on the ocean

Lyrics

OVERBOARD YOU GO *

Well we sailed....across the high seas
And we traveled...guided by the stars
And we lived......our lives on the ocean
But one morning I guess we sailed a bit too far

Well you know the chaplin , he was the first,the first to go
You know he caught the fever,had it five days and he didn't tell a soul

Captain said "doc what you think?".....two thumbs down
Overboard he goes

Then there was the skipper,and then the engineer
And then we lost the rudder,and then we couldn't steer
Traveling around in circles,following our dreams
Out there on the ocean,hear the men scream
Started out with twenty,now we're down to nine
Sailing out to nowhere ,and runnin' out of time
The men began to worry, the ship began to moan
The captain said "sail on",but we wanted home

Well we sailed across the high seas
And we traveled,guided by the stars

Captain said "doc what you think"....two thumbs down
Overboard he goes

Then one day I woke up , woke up all alone
We started out with twenty, but I alone went home
I'm never gonna forget the captain saying
"Overboard you go"
"Overboard you go"
"Overboard you go"
"Overboard you go"
