lyrics

Honey, don't light your candle
Honey, don't blow it out
Honey, don't take your sandals
'Cause the floorboard's leaking out

Honey, don't raise your wineglass
Honey, don't make a toast
Honey, don't pray to the dead man
'Cause he ain't no holy ghost

Honey, don't cast your anchor
Honey, don't rock the boat
Honey, you're in real danger
And I don't think this ship is gonna float

Honey, I can see the searchlight shining
But honey it's getting dim
And honey, they took all the lifeboats
So I guess we're gonna have to swim

Honey, don't turn that sail around
And honey, don't twist the wheel
Honey, better jump the deck right now
'Cause the wind ain't gonna heel

Honey, don't wake the sailors
Honey, just let 'em row
Honey, they don't need no favors
I don't think this ship's a gonna hold

Honey, please heed the warning
Honey, don't let it slide
'Cause honey, if you wait till morning
No one will survive

Honey, you could ignore me
And I would be alright
But please don't come a calling me
When the sea salt's in your eyes

I told you honey, don't cast your anchor
Honey, don't rock the boat
Honey, you're in real danger
And I don't think this ship's a gonna
I don't think this ship's a gonna float
