Johnny boy, be wary of the sea
Say hypnotically, submersively
I'll always be a bed for thee
Johnny boy, a sailor never be
Say contentedly on bended knee
You ever will return to me
Johnny boy, I'm so in love with you
So won't you pick it up
And shine it out
And lay it down?
Johnny boy, flightless I may be
But my heart does soar past pebbled shores
Longing for my commodore
Johnny boy, the king is not for me
But I'll be your queen, your vicereine
Your brooding little libertine
Johnny boy, I'm so in love with you
Though these suitors serenade
I know my favor never will be swayed
Because my fate is entwined
With that mason of mine
On these icy sheets he lays at my feet
A stoney valentine
So pick it up
And shine it out
And lay it down
