You'll say it's a dream, a lovely dream
I say it happened, strange as it may seem

I spoke last night to the ocean
I spoke last night to the sea
And from the ocean a voice came back
'Twas my Blue Jacket answering me

Ship ahoy
Ship ahoy
I can hear you, Sailor Boy

I threw a kiss in the ocean
It floated out on the sea
And from the ocean a kiss came back
'Twas my Blue Jacket answering me

[coda:]
Ship ahoy
Ship ahoy
Ship ahoy, Sailor Boy, ship ahoy
