Yacht's All Folks!

[Intro – warm electric piano, smooth electric bass, shimmering acoustic guitar, gentle ocean ambience] Well, I suppose it's bad out there... But it's lovely out here. [Verse 1] The market took a little dive So we took the boat to five There's a little trouble on the evening news But darling, we've got nothing to lose The price of bread is through the roof The price of champagne is living proof That money can't buy happiness, they say But it sure can get you far away [Pre-Chorus] There's a storm brewing on the mainland There's a fire burning down the street But the tide is turning in our favor And the water's looking mighty sweet [Chorus] Y-y-y-yacht's all folks, it's time to sail away Leave your troubles for another day The world's on fire, but the sea is blue There's nothing that a little breeze can't do Y-y-y-yacht's all folks, don't you worry now We've got the means and we've got the how If paradise is going down the drain We'll simply find another one again! [Instrumental – smooth electric piano, melodic saxophone, tasteful guitar fills] [Verse 2] I heard the factory closed last week Such a shame, they made things cheap The neighborhood's become a little rough I hear the locals haven't got enough The papers say the climate's getting warm Well, darling, that's why we weather the storm And if the coastline disappears someday We'll have a better view out in the bay [Pre-Chorus] There's a protest at the harbor There's a shortage down in town But the champagne's still on ice, dear And the sun is going down [Chorus] Y-y-y-yacht's all folks, it's time to sail away Leave your troubles for another day The world's on fire, but the sea is blue There's nothing that a little breeze can't do Y-y-y-yacht's all folks, don't you worry now We've got the means and we've got the how If paradise is going down the drain We'll simply find another one again! [Bridge – stripped-back electric piano, intimate vocal] Now I've always said that life's unfair But it's much worse when you're not prepared So I bought a little island down in Belize And put the deed in somebody else's name, if you please They say the ship is sinking, darling They say the captain's gone insane But I've got a helicopter waiting And a reservation in Saint-Tropez [Instrumental – extended saxophone solo, smooth guitar and keyboard interplay] [Final Chorus – lush harmonies, bigger arrangement] Y-y-y-yacht's all folks, it's time to sail away Leave your troubles for another day The world's on fire, but the sea is blue There's nothing that a little breeze can't do Y-y-y-yacht's all folks, raise another glass To the future of the upper class When the whole damn thing goes down the drain We'll simply find another one again! [Outro – fading harmonies, electric piano] Yacht's all folks... Don't rock the boat... Yacht's all folks... We're staying afloat... [Spoken, casually] Steward? Another round, please. And do turn up the radio. I can't hear the screaming.
