Written by Kenneth McGuigan

lyrics

Abandon ship! Cried the captain - do your bit - men save the women and kids
Me I’m going down with the ship, sound the alarm Danny - and Danny did.

The ship rolled port the shipped rolled aft the ship no deeper than a family bath
A shed roof they huckled for a laugh so they might go sailing.

(Chorus)
We are the lords of the new creation
Just we three kids and our imaginations.

I see a monster over there cried a sailor pointing
They watched it as its mouth spewed fire and had the water boiling.

The ship rolled port and the ship rolled aft
The sailors cheered and the sailors laughed thinking it fun to act really daft
Sailing for the day on the Dighty.

(Chorus)

And the monster finally spilled them in and the dreamers hit the water-o
It wasn’t warm but really cold and they made the bank like torpedoes.

And the sailors hurried home for tea and mama made them pie and chips
Then off to bed to fill their heads with dreams of sailors,
sailors and ships.
