Lyrics
You’ll say it’s a dream, a lovely dream
I say it happened, strange as it may seem
Chorus
I spoke last night to the ocean
I spoke last night to the sea
And from the ocean a voice came back
‘Twas my Blue Jacket answering me
Ship ahoy, Ship ahoy
I can hear you Sailor Boy
I threw a kiss in the ocean
It floated out on the sea
And from the ocean a kiss came back
‘Twas my Blue Jacket answering me
Chorus
I spoke last night to the ocean
I spoke last night to the sea
And from the ocean a voice came back
‘Twas my Blue Jacket answering me
Ship ahoy, Ship ahoy
I can hear you Sailor Boy
I threw a kiss in the ocean
It floated out on the sea
And from the ocean a kiss came back
‘Twas my Blue Jacket answering me
Ship ahoy, Ship ahoy
Ship ahoy, Sailor Boy, Ship ahoy
