[Chorus]
DFollow in my wake, you've Gnot that much at stake
For I have pDlowed the seas and smoothed the troubled wAaters
Come aDlong, let's have some fun, the Ghard work has been done
We'll barrel rolDl into the suAn, just for GstarDters
[Verse 1]
Just for starBmters, baDrometer's my soup
I'm desBmcended from a Ddeckhand on a sloop
F#mI travel on the sonBmglines F#mthat only dreamers Bmsee
GNot known for predictibiliAty
[Chorus]
Come and Dfollow in our wake, you've Gnot that much at stake
For we have pDlowed the seas and smoothed the troubled wAaters
Come aDlong, let's have some fun, it Gseems our work is done
We'll barrel rolDl into the suAn, just for GstarDters
[Verse 2]
Sail the maiBmn course, in a Dsimple sturdy craft
Keep it Bmwell stocked with short Dstories and long laughs
F#mGo fast enough to geBmt there, F#mbut slow enough to seBme
GModeration seems to be the keAy
