[BILL, spoken]
All that drumbeatin' and songs about Jesus. 

[LILLIAN, spoken]
We have songs that don't have anything to do with Jesus. 

[BILL, spoken]
Ah, I can guess what they're like. 

[LILLIAN, spoken]
I bet you can't! I need a hat for this. Have you got a sailor hat?
Now this is a common song, about the life of common sailors. Listen. 
(sung)
Hey there, we're sailing off to Burma this evening
With enough good Scotch on board to float all the way
Plus a crate of great cigars, "Henry Clay"
Had it up to here with girls, so we're leaving
'Cause it's time to start a brand new day
Yes, it's time to start a brand new day
Now, we never evеr smoke other brands of cigars
And this leaky tub will barеly get us to Burma
And we don't need that God who's up there in the stars
And we don't need all his laws on terra firma
So all right, goodbye!
And the ship sails away, and it may reach Rangoon
And as for God, well, we don't get him
And it may be that God feels just the same about us
So let's hope he doesn't let it upset him
And all right, goodbye!
We're off on the sea and it's "Who gives a damn?"
Life's perfect 'cause nothing is missing
And your dreams of glory? Just take 'em and scram
The whole world's our pot and we're pissing!
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
And all the world goes on its way
And when the day is over
We start another day
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
And that's how it's gonna stay
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
The sea is blue

Hey there, we might go to a movie if you want to
They'll make us pay, we don't care, me and you
We won't grow our gray hairs, not until they're due
People like us are entitled to have a bit of fun too
'Cause there's not a thing we have to do
No, there's not a thing we have to do
Now, we never smoke cigars that cost less than five cents
And that cheap bread gives us indigestion
And we don't give a damn what makes other guys tense
And as for soul searching, there's just no question
That's not why we're here!
And our life sails away, and who knows how it ends?
And as for God, well, let's forget him
And it may be that God feels just the same about us
So let's hope he won't let it upset him
Yeah, why should he care?
Our lives are our own and we don't give a damn
Life's perfect, 'cause nothing is missing
And your dreams of glory? Just take 'em and scram
The whole world's our pot and we're pissing!
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
And all the world goes on its way
And when the day is over
We start another day
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
And that's how it's gonna stay
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
The sea is blue

(spoken)
Now all we need is for a storm to blow up!
Relax, there's the docks of Rangoon up ahead
Hey, wait, that's only a bank of black clouds in the air!
Jesus, and the waves are going crazy out there!
Jesus, in a minute the whole lot of us will be dead!
(sung)
Well, we knew we'd have to die somewhere
Yeah, we knew we'd have to die somewhere
Down goes the ship and soon the sea washes over
Nothing but sharks down there to show a drowned man the way
Scotch is no use to them, or crates of "Henry Clay"
Where they're going there are no girls who need a lover
They won't ever see another day
They won't ever see another day
And the water comes up
And the ship's going down
And as for a harbor, we don't get one
Just a wreck of a ship and a glimpse of a shore
But of course, one can't let it upset one!
So all right, goodbye!
Then for once, you don't hear all that big talk in the air
And the big talkers suddenly look smaller
And they're down on their knees
And mumbling about their Father who's up there
And they're starting to weigh the sins their souls must bear
And that's how they die
And now let me tell you a fact that we all ought to know
When you stand before the throne where our Lord is sitting
You may have been bragging a lifetime or so
But now, when it matters, you're shitting!
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
And all the world goes on its way
But when your day is over
There is no other day
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
You don't have that long to stay
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
Ah, the sea is blue, so blue
The sea is blue
(spoken)
Bill.
