I'd Like to Sail the Seven Seas

Marie ThayerCheerful

I’d like to sail the seven seas In some canoe without an oar And chart my course to fit the breeze.

I’d sail down past the Hebrides Or then again to Salvador. I’d like to sail the seven seas.

I’d find the coves with giant trees And listen to the breakers roar And chart my course to fit the breeze.

I’d like to see the Portuguese And then go down to Equador. I’d like to sail the seven seas.

I’d watch the fish that dart and tease Along the ocean’s cool green floor And chart my course to fit the breeze.

And if the weather there should please, I might sail on to Singapore. I’d like to sail the seven seas And chart my course to fit the breeze.
