Drifting In The Maritime

Cheryl Wheeler

It's a beautiful harbor, beautiful boat

Beautiful day for a float

Glimmering bright on a northern sea

Tide's just takin' her time with me



Look at that beauty, look at her sway

Prob'ly sail across the ocean in a day

Movin' in time with the great big blue

Bobbin' here like me and you



I don't know from yacht from yawl

Look at all the lovely lines

They seem so perfect one and all

Under the July sunshine

Drifting in the maritime



Polishing railings, look at her crew

Starched and white and blue

All the people stare from Kings Park Beach

Might be lookin' for Robin Leech



Somebody loves her, you can just tell

Keepin' her up so well

And somebody knows all the secrets he needs

To build magnificent ships like these



And I guess I'd like to go on every one

But I don't wanna know where the loot came from

It's a mighty fine day on a choppy blue sea
