[Intro]
Sailing, sailing

[Verse 1]
Say, when I'm ready you must hold on steady
We're moving off at lightening speed, yeah
Take a seat and wait 'till I'm ready
I'm coming, so hold on steady, yeah

[Chorus]
Big ship sailing on the ocean (We don't need no commotion)
Big ship sailing on the ocean
Say, big ship sailing on the ocean
Big ship sailing on the ocean

[Verse 2]
There's a time when the sea gets rough
The wind is blowing and the fishes keep movin'
What are you doing, mister man?
Sit down, hold on tight, get ready 'cause you're sailing

[Chorus]
Big ship sailing on the ocean (We don't need no commotion)
Big ship sailing on the ocean (Get ready 'cause we're moving)
Big ship sailing on the ocean
Big ship sailing on the ocean
[Verse 3]
Say, when I'm ready you must hold on steady
We're moving off at lightening speed, yeah
Take a seat and just wait 'till I'm ready
I'm coming, I'm coming, hold on steady ('Cause)

[Chorus]
Big ship sailing on the ocean (We don't need no commotion)
Big ship sailing on the ocean (We've got to come over)
Big ship sailing on the ocean
Say, we're sailing on the ocean (Yeah)

[Verse 4]
Say, there's a time when the sea gets rough
The wind is blowing and the fishes keep movin'
What are you doing, mister man?
Sit down, hold on tight, get ready 'cause you're sailing

[Chorus]
Big ship sailing on the ocean (We don't need no commotion)
Big ship sailing on the ocean (We've got to come over)
Big ship sailing on the ocean
Big ship sailing on the ocean
