Tomorrow smells of less decay
Be thankful, that's all you can
No matter where I put my head
Sing, that's all you can
Ah, but don't, no don't sink the boat
No one listens, anyway
Sick and tired of what to say
Ah no, don't, no don't sink the boat
That you built
Live, that's all you can
Drink, that's all you can
Ah, but don't, don't sink the boat
Feel, that's all you can
Blackened days with their bigger gales
A ripe old age, a ripe old age
A ripe old age, that's what I am
I'm ripe old age, a ripe old age
That you built, you built to keep afloat
I'm a ripe old age, that's what I am
Hide behind their own worst fears
Ah no, don't, oh no, don't sink the boat
That you built, that you built to keep afloat
A ripe old age, a ripe old age
A ripe old age, a ripe old age
Dream, that's all you can
That you built, you built to keep afloat
Ah no, don't, no don't sink the boat
Dream, it's all you can
Rambling years of lousy luck
Ah, but don't, no don't sink the boat
I wake up feeling sound again
It's all you can
That you built, you built to keep afloat
That you built, you built to keep afloat
You miss the smell of burning turf
Listen, that's all you can
Singled out for who you are
Blow in your parlor to discuss the day
The flowers quick just bloom and fray
Ah no, don't, no don't sink the boat
A ripe old age, just do it the best I can, hey
Filthy suits with bigot ears
Oh, that you built, that you built to keep afloat
A ripe old age, just do it the best I can, hey
It takes all types to judge a man
It's all you can do
