The Lyrics
There goes the sailing crew
over the brine
that makes it bitter, the deep blue.
It is flyin’
over waves, flyin’.
The ship is outstanding. . .
better ain’t around.
Then one day out landing
will be the crew when “firma” is found.
And then this sailing crew
will drink some wine—
much wine!
Yes, the crew
will pursue
wine, hooch too,
also brew—
chug ’em down.
Then wasted, they’re
again off to sea—
on it they bound.
There’s Moby!
who wastes the sailing crew,
interred in brine.
over the brine
that makes it bitter, the deep blue.
It is flyin’
over waves, flyin’.
The ship is outstanding. . .
better ain’t around.
Then one day out landing
will be the crew when “firma” is found.
And then this sailing crew
will drink some wine—
much wine!
Yes, the crew
will pursue
wine, hooch too,
also brew—
chug ’em down.
Then wasted, they’re
again off to sea—
on it they bound.
There’s Moby!
who wastes the sailing crew,
interred in brine.

Almost thought this was another "Fitzgerald". The crew was never accused of drinking. That was the "Exxon Valdez".
