You Won't Be Merry On A North Sea Ferry

(album: Idle Gossip - 1986)

An ad on the tele put a lump in my belly
Sail with the North Sea Sail with the North Sea ferries
You'll laugh all the way with so little to pay
Sail with the North Sea Sail with the North Sea boys

The food will choke you, the staff provoke you
The captain doesn't care no
The captain doesn't care no

[Chorus:]
Ahoy! Sailings everyday, ahoy it's the only way
I feel sick I feel sick,
North Sea ferrie's done the trick
Ahoy beat the traffic jam, ahoy Hull to Rotterdam
I feel sick and my cabin's freezing cold
Ooh I booked North Sea Ferries
What a silly boy
You won't be merry on a North Sea Ferry
Ahoy! Ahoy! Ahoy!

Get across the sea and so cheaply
Sail with the North Sea Sail with the North Sea ferries
So book a trip on a North Sea Ferry ship
Sail with the North Sea Sail with the North Sea boys

The food will choke you, the staff provoke you
The captain doesn't care no
The captain doesn't care no

[Chorus]
