The sailor loves me,
And sails every night to my home.
He's not a sailor that sails on the sea,
Or over the wild briny foam.
For he owns an airship and sails upon high.
He's just like a bird on the wings.
And when the shadows of evening grow nigh,
He'll sail to my window and sing,
Come take a trip in my airship.
Come take a sail 'mong the stars.
Come have a ride around Venus.
Come have a spin around Mars.
No one to watch while we're kissing.
No one to see while we spoon.
Come take a trip in my airship,
And we'll visit the man in the moon.
One night while sailing away from the crowd,
We passed through the milky white way.
Just idly sailing and watching the clouds,
He asked me if I'd name the day.
And right near the dipper,
I gave him my heart.
The sun shines on our honey moon.
We swore from each other we never would part,
And teach all the babies this tune.
Come take a trip in my airship.
Come take a sail 'mong the stars.
Come have a ride around Venus.
Come have a spin around Mars.
No one to watch while we're kissing.
No one to see while we spoon.
Come take a trip in my airship,
And we'll visit the man in the moon.
