Words and music by Robbie Smith
Ooh, ooh, wah, wah, wah
Ooh, ooh, wah wah wah wah
Come tomorrow I’ll be sailing away
To a Mediterranean bay
To the surf and the sand and the spray
I”m gonna close down the shop and call it a day
No one’s messing with my head or my heart
I’m straight and sober and I’ve always been smart
I’m gonna fool all my friends and my relatives too
And disappear right into the blue
And sail right into the blue
But you can come along with me if you want to honey
I don’t care
You can come along with me if you’ve got some time to spare
We could share some of that sweet, sweet salt sea air
This winter weather can sting like a knife
And I’ve been tied to that clock almost all of my life
Through school-days, work-days and holidays too
A change has been coming, it’s long overdue
I’m gonna lay right down in that tropical sea
And catch the waves as they wash over me
Squeeze the sand with my fingers and toes
Way out on those beaches where nobody knows me at all
Where nobody knows me at all
But you can come along with me if you want to darling
I don’t mind
You can come along with me just let yourself unwind
We could find some of that precious peace of mind
They always talk about
Ooh, but my patience is thin
I’ve got a feeling that my ship has come in
Soon to carry me ‘round the coast of Spain to Sicily
Mm, no more worry or woe
That ship is waiting and it’s raring to go
Ah, to carry me ‘round the southern coast to Tripoli
Ooh, ooh, wah, wah, wah
Ooh, ooh, wah wah wah wah
Ooh, ooh, wah wah, into the blue
Into the blue
Into the blue
