long island for sale


their selling long island
      where Stevenson wrote
      where Jim lad went sailing
      within the big boat

      they've put up the signs there
      its all plain to see
      where silver wore long johns
      then sailed out to sea

      they've flown all the flags there
      the union jack too
      now there's only the jolly roger
      as we sail out from Poole

      the harbor lights call us
      whilst theirs sleep in your eyes
      but if you want adventure
      don't be surprised

      its bolt down the hatch
      let the cannons once more roar
      as the battle is on
      for another sea war

      there's brownsea and white
      there's pirates at bay
      there's cockle shell heroes
      every new day

      so lets fly the flag boys
      cutlass at hand
      its a life on the waves
      for just half a grand

      their selling long island
      just off poole bay
      they've offered a million
      i heared someone say
