So it's flotsam and jetsam You leave the ship Sinking slowly When you do the plank But it's a bridge talk for deathtrap So aquanautic But I'm anchored, electric Release the jib CHORUS I'm going overboard Over the side I'm going overboard Over the side When the Bombay sets sail On a coconut float Drifting so aimlessly When the engine chokes Devoted, alerted You thank my pipeline When the coast guard has a safeguard Reveals the twist CHORUS There's one thing for sure True love in the tide I'm going overboard Slipping You got a party on a poop deck Live under the flag I got a cocktail and I'm full sail Completes the trip You take your life into your own hands You do your party piece I took my life into my own hands I left that ship CHORUS There's one thing for sure Over the side I fell in love with an oar True love in the tide
