This boat, here
Doesn't want to be in the boatyard.
Look at her Hull:
Well maintained, slim and curvy.
You'll not see a better bottom.
Younger vessels aren't a touch on this.
And this one has a history:
She knows a thing or two.
It's true:
Some this age might only go down a river or along a canal;
A few might even stay at rest in the boatyard.
This one, ah this one, goes out to sea;
She can do it all.
You want to get on board, Don.
Cast her into the sea
And give her a sail;
Get her engine going.
You'll be amazed:
She's a goer;
She's one gorgeous vessel.
Go on, grab her wheel.
This engine purrs;
Her sail captures the wind,
And boy can she move.
She's full of spirit.
She'll take you anywhere and everywhere
For an experience you'll never forget.
