Lyrics
- I feel so proud, just see the crowd
They are coming down to see me off today
Oh say, the time is near to leave the pier
All aboard, she’ll soon be under way
And I tell you this, ev’ry little miss
Wants that goodbye kiss
Chorus
All aboard, (all aboard, all aboard)
That Ocean Baby, that ocean baby
She sails today (on her way, hip-hooray, hip-hooray
Hear the band (ain’t it grand, ain’t it grand)
Strike up a Tango, just watch that gang go
Across the deck (hear them roar
Give us more, give us more)
She’s a whale, (she’s a bear, she’s a shark)
She sure can go some
She seems to know someone’s waiting home
(All alone, all alone, alone)
The five day trip that starts today
Will bring us into New York Bay
All aboard, (all aboard, all aboard
That ocean baby
- She’s speeding now, she sure knows how
Can’t you see a couple’s waving
From the shore, they’re sore
They came too late, she wouldn’t wait
Even for a thousand couples more
When that baby starts
Thro’ the waves she darts
Back to loving hearts
