*[Intro - Dark voice, sailors in chorus]* Yo ho! Hoist sails! Yo ho! *Verse 1* We left Gothenburg with cargo and gunpowder on board The captain shouted "Towards the south! Towards gold and rum!" The edge of the map said "Here live dragons", we laughed at that We would make it to the Caribbean, if we were to die *Chorus - Everyone sings* Ohhh, the journey to the Caribbean! Where the rum flows and the gold burns! Hoist the jib, cast off! The devil himself gets a row if he wants to follow us! The journey to the Caribbean! *Verse 2* Three weeks without wind, then a storm for three more days The mast broke, two men overboard, the sea wanted its share But in the morning we saw it - a stripe of green and blue Palm trees, parrots, beaches white as bone *Chorus - Stronger* Ohhh, the journey to the Caribbean! Where no king can take us any further! Bury the coffin, open the bottle! We have cheated death once more! The voyage to the Caribbean! *Stick - The captain alone, calmly* And when I die, don't throw me into a pit in the north Give me an anchor around my foot and the sea as a grave Let me sink where the water is warm and clear For I have seen paradise - the Caribbean was my answer *Last Chorus - Full chorus, table thump* OHHH, THE VOYAGE TO THE CARIBBEAN! WE WHO WERE DEAD ARE ALIVE AGAIN! FILL THE GLASS! SING WITH US! YO HO! YO HO! THE CARIBBEAN! *Outro* Yo ho... yo ho... towards the Caribbean...
