Fourteen hours a day
Fourteen days in two weeks
A fortnight out to sea
I'm far from home, alright by me
Off the coast of Milan
Then the Ivory Keys
I put my back into
My distancing the distant seas

I'll sail away, I'll sail away
Forever and forever
Hoist the jig, skip the rope
Do whatever you do
To get me into the blue
Alright by me

Hey Mamasita
Ain't it good
Ain't it wonderful?
Hey Mamasita
Ain't it great
When you're worlds away?

Getting further away
Putting distance between
Myself and all the shelves
Of smarmy, charmy human creeps
Interruptions are gone
Lost in a reverie
Nothing but wind, waves, and inspiration
For my peeps

I'll sail away, I'll sail away
Forever and forever
Hoist the jig, skip the rope
Do whatever you do
To get me into the blue
Alright by me

Hey Mamasita
Ain't it good
Ain't it wonderful?
Hey Mamasita
Ain't it great
When you're worlds away?

Now I am guided by the stars
And by the red sun
I go where I want
For good or ill
Please winds blow whither you will
Whither you will
Whither you will

Hey Mamasita
Ain't it good
Ain't it wonderful?
Hey Mamasita
Ain't it great
When you're worlds away?

When you're worlds away
And things are great
When you're worlds away
And things are great
