Don't you wanna go where things move slow
Give me a little time to take what I know
Follow the ocean line, follow the flow
Give me a little time to take what I know

O ! And he's calling
But I do not answer
I'm hunting for me now
And I must go quietly
And it's a hard way of walking
O ! And I know
It's a hard way of talking
O ! And I know

Don't let your guard down and don't live far from town
Follow the oceanline, follow the flow
Give me a little time to take what I know
Give me a little time to take what I know

O ! Lordy, lordy
"I am down", said Charlie
They try and shush me
But I holler gleefully
In a house made for sleeping
O ! And I know
With a mouth made of gold
O ! And I know
I see him smile at me
Smiling in disbelief
If only you would trust me
We would live happily
In a house made of silver
O ! And I know
In a house made of platinum
O ! And I know

Hold the raft at the ready, hold it fast, hold it steady
Follow the oceanline, follow the flow
Give me a little time to take what I know
Give me a little time to take what I know
