[Chris Norman - All Aboard for America lyrics]
Well the captain said
"Look out we're setting sail tonight"
And the harbour lights were
Dim on that dark and foggy night
And I thought I knew what we were doing
Heading for a place to start anew in
No turning back no opting out
It's now or never
And the captain said
"We're off to far and distant shores"
And you turned and said to me
"If you want me boy I'm yours"
Well you took my hand and
My heart was beating
As I thought of all that we were leaving
No turning back no opting out
It's now or never
All aboard for America sail away to
The land of the free
All aboard for America come away
You can come with me
If you want to, so all aboard for America
(Sing la, la, la,)
Well the food was running low
And the water running dry
And the captain went below and I
Swear I heard him cry
"If we don't see land this time tomorrow
There'll be many die and so much sorrow
Too late for hope time's running
Out it's now or never"
Then the first mate's voice rang out
And he shouted "Land ahoy!"
And a mighty cheer was
Heard from every woman, man and boy
And I saw the place of my salvation
And I set my face in determination
No turning back no opting out
It's now or never
All aboard for America sail away to
The land of the free
All aboard for America come away
You can come with me
If you want to, so all aboard for America
(Sing la, la, la,)
"Look out we're setting sail tonight"
And the harbour lights were
Dim on that dark and foggy night
And I thought I knew what we were doing
Heading for a place to start anew in
No turning back no opting out
It's now or never
And the captain said
"We're off to far and distant shores"
And you turned and said to me
"If you want me boy I'm yours"
Well you took my hand and
My heart was beating
As I thought of all that we were leaving
No turning back no opting out
It's now or never
All aboard for America sail away to
The land of the free
All aboard for America come away
You can come with me
If you want to, so all aboard for America
(Sing la, la, la,)
Well the food was running low
And the water running dry
And the captain went below and I
Swear I heard him cry
"If we don't see land this time tomorrow
There'll be many die and so much sorrow
Too late for hope time's running
Out it's now or never"
Then the first mate's voice rang out
And he shouted "Land ahoy!"
And a mighty cheer was
Heard from every woman, man and boy
And I saw the place of my salvation
And I set my face in determination
No turning back no opting out
It's now or never
All aboard for America sail away to
The land of the free
All aboard for America come away
You can come with me
If you want to, so all aboard for America
(Sing la, la, la,)
