Set Sail - MIKELANGELO, The Black Sea Gentlemen, Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen

Let’s set sail across the sea like buccaneers

You and I

We’ll live beneath the clouded and rain-streaked sky

Across the pages of this ancient tale

Let’s set sail across the sea

You and I

We’ll discover distant lands on our way

By and by

We need no compass

The sun will be our guide

We’ll offend those who say we’re going to fail

As through the sea we glide

And the gentlemen all sing

Hey-ho la-da-de da-do

The gentlemen all sing

Hey-ho hey-ho

Hey-ho

The rocks will be sharp as knives in the night

At our heels the darkened beasts will snap and bite

The winds will howl and the hands will fall their rain

Robbing us of laughter

Robbing us of sight

And the gentlemen all sing

Hey-ho la-da-de da-do

The gentlemen all sing

Hey-ho hey-ho

Hey-ho

We’ll skirt around the isle of lamentation

And drop anchor at the port of damnation

There we’ll drink our fill and head off again

Across the sea like buccaneers, you and I

And the gentlemen all sing

Hey-ho la-da-de da-do

The gentlemen all sing

Hey-ho hey-ho

Once again the gentleman sing

Hey-ho la-da-de da-do

The gentlemen all sing

Hey-ho hey-ho
