Tocotronic - Sailor Man songtext (lyrics)

(Sailor Man was performed for the Unplugged
Session at the Radiokulturhaus by Tocotronic)

Oh so handsome oh so strong
Tell me stories of distant shores
All night long i shiver all over
When I see your lovely tan
And I can tell by your clear blue eyes
That your a sailor man oh sailor man
From polar land oh sailor man
Come take my hand
Oh sailor man - Take me along
Show me the portal prince and Hong Kong

Oh sailor man i sure hope you don't drown
I'd rather have you showing me Cape Town
You know your from New York, New York
Where we can go to bars
A strong blonde handsome sailor
Norwegians call you Lars

Oh sailor man from polar land
Oh sailor man come take my hand
Oh sailor man i'd gladly die
To see the ports of Rostock and Shanghai

Sailor Man oh, sailor man
Please take my hand oh tender sailor man
