Lyrics

 * Whether you get to where you're going
 * Or you end up somewhere else
 * Doesn't matter if you don't get anywhere
 * 'Cause you're so busy doing nothing
 * And there's always more to do
 * And it doesn't seem to matter
 * To anyone else but you


 * When you're messin' around in boats
 * The world is right as rain
 * When I'm messin' around in boats
 * Don't ask me to explain
 * Why I'm messing around in boats
 * When I'm messing around in boats
 * My whole world floats
 * When I'm messing around
 * Around in boats


 * Imagine you're sailing in the sunset
 * And the breeze is fresh and warm
 * And the sound is just the water rushing by
 * And the broad horizon beckons
 * As you turn back to the shore
 * Knowing you'll be back tomorrow
 * And the world's yours to explore


 * When I'm messin' around in boats
 * The world is right as rain
 * When I'm messin' around in boats
 * Don't ask me to explain
 * Why I'm messing around in boats
 * When I'm messing around in boats
 * My whole world floats
 * When I'm messing around
 * When I'm messing around
 * When I'm messing around
 * Around in boats
