Oh the ship (oh the ship) oh the ship of state is sinking oh the ship (oh the ship) ship of state is going down oh the ship (oh the ship) and this is what I’m thinking that if the ship of state is sinking I hope nobody drowns it’s too late (it’s too late) to build a bigger boat it’s too late (it’s too late) to argue by degrees if we want (if we want) if we want to stay afloat then we all must start rowing to get to calmer seas we can row (we can row) we can row that boat ashore we can go (we can go) to where troubles are forgot we can sail (we can sail) if we try a little more if we try a little harder and row with all we’ve got Oh the ship (oh the ship) oh the ship of state is sailing oh the ship (oh the ship) to a new and better land oh the ship (oh the ship) and we cannot be a-failing if the ship of state is sailing we all must lend a hand.
