Seventy-three men sailed up
From the San Francisco Bay,
Rolled off of their ship
And here's what they had to say
"We're callin' everyone to ride along
To another shore,
We can laugh our lives away
and be free once more"
But no one heard them callin',
No one came at all,
'Cause they were too busy watchin'
Those old raindrops fall
As a storm was blowin'
Out on the peaceful sea,
Seventy-three men sailed off
To history
Ride, captain ride
Upon your mystery ship,
Be amazed at the friends
You have here on your trip
Ride captain ride
Upon your mystery ship,
On your way to a world
That others might have missed
(Instrumental)
Seventy-three men sailed up
From the San Francisco Bay,
Got off their ship
And here's what they had to say
"We're callin' everyone to ride along
To another shore,
We can laugh our lives away
And be free once more"
Ride, captain ride
Upon your mystery ship,
Be amazed at the friends
You have here on your trip
Ride, captain ride
Upon your mystery ship,
On your way to a world
That others might have missed
Ride, captain ride
Upon your mystery ship,
Be amazed at the friends
You have here on your trip
