I’ll tell you a story It’s strange but it’s true oh yeah Of a sailor and an Island And an ocean of blue There once was a yachty Called bold captain bicki Who was partial to freshies And prone to the quickie, yes man Singing toorileye ooraleye ooraleye ay Now early one morning ah The Maris set sail oh The bilge rat off-loaded And a smiths jig was trailed He hauled up a VB that beer man Put on Jimmy Buffet Set Norma Stitz And had a wee puff, you dig Hey toorileye, see the red eye Ooraleye oh oh The compass was set The breeze bought a smile He’d soon be all legs up On sweet lord howe isle When all of a sudden oh no From out of the night Came a rumble of thunder And flashes of light, light me up man Singing tooraleye, we’re gunna die ooraleye kiss your butt goodbye oh oh The storm she came rumbling The sea short and sharp The Maris was plunging Ahead in the dark In speedos and beret All dressed for the fray He clung to the bow In green water and spray Singing say goodbye ooraleye next time we fly oh take me back to Jamaica The Maris was knocked down He thought he was gone He laughed like a madman ha ha ha And the battle was on Then just when you’d think He’d see Davy jones locker He stopped for a hot one He sure was a shocker Singing toorileye, say goodbye ooraleye oooh Come early morning On a crystal clear day Bicki was sipping His poncy Earl Grey And off in the distance Their heads lost in clouds The mountains of Lord Howe Stood mighty and proud Singing thank god for that mate! Ooraleye ay Wind on the quarter Sails full and bye He stood by the missen And let out a sigh He waved to young Toss Aboard Darcy Grae Let slip the anchor And let out a hey Singing toorileye ooraleye Now Sydney bound ooraleye ay Now if you are thinking Of sailing around No better than Bicki Is sure to be found Have plenty of VB Next time that you see him Head down North to Lagoona Or up south to the museum Singing toorileye ooraleye ooraleye ay Toorileye oorileye ooraleye ay Get on the Maris the sailings not tricky You’ll have lots of fun With Bold Captain Bicki
