The Skye Boat Song
If you want to be in the swim
You've got to own a boat.
You've got to air an expansive flair,
And wear it, like a coat.
You've got to own an expensive boat
And leave it, week by week
Marina bound, or run aground
Or moored in some old creek.
The important thing is that it's there
And friends soon get to know
That you've got lots of brass and are upper class
And not one of the low.
In business deals, so you can rate
Exactly how you stand
You must swap notes on each others' boats
To see which is more grand.
Some people find it hard enough
Just to stay afloat;
But if you want to be in the swim
You've simply GOT to own a boat.
