[LIZA]
My ship has sails that are made of silk
The decks are trimmed with gold
And of jam and spice
There's a paradise in the hold

[ENSEMBLE]
A paradise in the hold

[LIZA]
My ship's aglow with a million pearls
And rubies fill each bin
The sun sits high in a sapphire sky
When my ship comes in

I can wait for years
'Til it appears
One fine day, one spring
But the pearls and such
They won't mean much
If there's missing just one thing
I do not care if that day arrives
The dream need never be
If the ship I sing doesn't also bring
My own true love to me
(spoken)
My ship has sails that are made of silk
The decks are trimmed with gold
And of jam and spice
There's a paradise in the hold
(sung)
My ship's aglow with a million pearls
And rubies fill each bin
The sun sits high in a sapphire sky
When my ship comes in

I can wait for years
'Til it appears
One fine day, one spring
(spoken)
But the pearls and such
They won't mean much
(sung)
If there's missing just one thing
I do not care if that day arrives
That dream need never be
If the ship I sing doesn't also bring
My own true love to me

[ENSEMBLE]
If the ship I sing doesn't also bring
[LIZA & ENSEMBLE]
My own true love to me
