Black sails in the moonlight
Black patch on your eye
You shiver your timbers, baby
And I'll shiver mine
A treasure map is hidden on your legs
Your veins are very close
Someday I'll wrap my big yard arms around your legs
And sail away
I'll bury my heart on some island
And take you there someday to find it
I want you, I need you, I love you
No other man will ever reap your rays
But you're so veiny
You probably think this map belongs to you
And I'm so crazy
What can I do?
So raise the anchor up
Hoist the canvas
Sail me to my heart
Black patch on your eye
You shiver your timbers, baby
And I'll shiver mine
A treasure map is hidden on your legs
Your veins are very close
Someday I'll wrap my big yard arms around your legs
And sail away
I'll bury my heart on some island
And take you there someday to find it
I want you, I need you, I love you
No other man will ever reap your rays
But you're so veiny
You probably think this map belongs to you
And I'm so crazy
What can I do?
So raise the anchor up
Hoist the canvas
Sail me to my heart
