Six Months in a Leaky Boat Lyrics[Verse 1]
When I was a young boy
I wanted to sail around the world
That's the life for me
Living on the sea
Spirit of a sailor
Circumnavigates the globe
The lust of a pioneer
Will acknowledge no frontier
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember you by
Thunderclap in the sky
Lightning flash, tempers flare
'Round the horn, if you dare
[Chorus]
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Lucky just to keep afloat
Da da da da, daaa da doh doh doh doh doh da doh doh
[Verse 2]
Aotearoa
Rugged individual
Glisten like a pearl
At the bottom of the world
The tyranny of distance
Didn't stop the cavalier
So why should it stop me?
I'll conquer and stay free
[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, c'mon all you lads
Let's forget and forgive
There's a world to explore
Tales to tell back on shore
[Chorus]
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Six months in a leaky boat
Da da da da, daaa da doh doh doh doh doh da doh doh
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Ship-wrecked love can be cruel
Don't be fooled by her kind
There's a wind in my sails
Will protect and prevail
[Chorus]
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Nothing to it, leaky boat
Da da da da, daaa da doh doh doh doh doh da doh doh2
