It's raining and storming on the sea, we're miles and miles from shore
It's raining and storming on the sea, we're miles and miles from shore
The way the waves is rockin this ship, we won't see home no more
The wind is so strong, turnin' this old ship round and round
This wind is so strong, turnin' this old ship round and round
Something tells me, won't be long before we're sinkin' down
The captain say, "Get your lifesavers, fasten them around your waist"
Captain say, "Get your lifesavers, and fasten them around your waist"
Because we're sinkin' down, and the lifeboat is your safest place
And we floated all night long in the storm, lost miles and miles from shore
And the water was freezin', and the rain begin to pour
I say, "Girls and boys, let's pray, 'cause we won't see home no more"
Uncle Sam's ship was comin', painted in red, white and blue
Uncle Sam's ship was comin', painted in red, white and blue
We said, "We live in New York City", red and white, blue brought us all the way through
