Part I

Ooooh, we've got this notion
That we'd quite like to sail the ocean
So we're building a big boat to leave here for good.

We're not keen on sinking
So we're all sitting here a thinking
'Cause we built it too big and [bad word] out of wood.

eidle eidle eee
eidle eidle eee

We simply can't leave 'til we get some more wood.

Oooh, we're not keen on sinking
so that's why we're sitting thinking

cause we simply can't leave 'til we get some more wood.

Part II

Ooooh, the boat is now finished
But there's still something on the wish-list
To keep us all going through the wind and the rain.

There's no food on the table
And we can't sail unless we're able
So we ain't going nowhere 'til we get some grain.

eidle eidle eee
eidle eidle eee

we simply can't leave until we get some grain.

Therrrre's no food on the table
And we can't sail unless we're able
So we ain't going nowhere 'til we get some grain.

Part III
Ooooh, We're [bad word] but there's still one more thing remaining
Cause bread is quite boring if that's all you eat.

We need some flavour
So do us all a little favour
Cause, we ain't going nowhere 'til we get some meat.

eidle eidle eee
eidle eidle eee

We simply can't leave until we've got some meat.
Sooooo, Do us a favour and find something with a little flavour
Cause we're going nowhere 'til we've got some meat.
