Some sailors say they sail for several years and seldom see the sand at all Oh I know that must be kind of dull The sea's a salty slippery friend it smells like fish and d**h and never ends Oh you know this life is kind of dull All we do is sail around for miles and miles and All we want is a bit of dirt and sand A little precious island Precious island, precious island When all the world is wet you bet we get a little funny in the head And we don't care if it's Hamilton or somewhere with better hotels like maybe Thailand Everything that's not the sea Is a little precious island to me All we do is sail around for miles and miles and All we want is a bit of dirt and sand A little precious island Precious island, precious island When all the world is wet you bet we get a little funny in the head And we don't care if it's Oshawa or somewhere with fewer trucks like the Scottish Highlands Everything that's not the sea Is a little precious island to me There's a thousand reasons to hate the water Unless you are a k**er whale, a squid or a sea otter You need a precious island, precious island When all the world is wet you bet we get a little funny in the head And we don't care if it's Pickering or somewhere where the cows are loud and the malls are silent Everything that's not the sea Is a little precious island to me
