Lyrics[]
A route unravels where those who travel
Don't return from the Earth
So take a hop tiny, and bob on the briny
Seek the shore, forever more
Fair winds and following seas
Elude alligator,
Confront the creator
Thine eyes shall see, the mystery
Fair winds and following seas
And as you sink deeper
And stare at the reaper
Who waits on the tongues of leviathans
And there's a lot of 'em
You won't touch the bottom
And as we suggested, you're slowly digested
Fish food and following sea
Into the water, no son or daughters
Escapes the drink, they'll certainly sink
Fair winds and following seas
Fair winds and following seas
