I might have her at my fingertips
When all the rock lobsters roll on
Like lovers like danger, like babies like mangers
The best of all friends will say good-bye again
And when we've looked over the white cliffs of Dover
From Bermuda on down the Triangle around us
And all kings without crosses to bear
There's still time for one last glass of ale
We're bound for Bahama my friend
Put the kiss of dawn on my lips with some luck tonight
to the sea so ye may not complain"
It's a mighty fine way to be found
They had so much fun, they don't wish to return
Triangle Triangle, oh see my ship dangle
And a mighty fine way to be found
On a south wind and lots of good cheer
They'd rather stay under and boy it's no wonder
When when the water runs heavy and fast
And it seems their first trip was their last
It's a mighty hard way to come down
There's many a mate who unevenly stated
Will teach us a lesson or two
There was no confusion or blame
A tuna fish turned to a mermaid in bed and said
When she took her last tumble, the sea bottom rumbled
So hand me my grip from an old sailing ship
With their faces turned up to the stars
The captain said, "Men we must answer again
It's a mighty hard way to come down
Son you got something t' learn"
Give a certified sailor a turn
Just sip on your rum or I'll give you my thumb and say
But that's where my storybook ends
And a mighty fine way to be found
The mermaids have all gone to Davy Jones' Ball
So hand me my grip from an old sailing ship
We'll sail away proudly, our backs to the wall
I might have her at my fingertips
All sweepers and cleaners with no misdemeanors
Should try the triangle out there
So hand me my grip from an old sailing ship
Put the kiss of the dawn on my lips with some luck tonight
To the beach where they lay all day long
"There goes another sandbar"
Put the kiss of the dawn on my lips
Oh, the best of all things is the first day of spring
It's a mighty hard way to come down and a mighty fine way to be found
"Don't worry 'bout me," he said "Go down below
Like soldiers of fortune, believers in God
We'll be in Bahama next year
And as they lay sleeping down there in the deep
The course he had charted was true
