Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have sailed the world, beheld its wonders
From the pearls of Spain to the rubies of Tibet
But not even in London
Have I seen such a wonder
[Verse 2]
Lady, look at me, look at me, miss, oh
Look at me, please, oh
Favor me, favor me with your glance
Ah, miss
What do you, what do you see off
There in those trees? Oh
Won't you give, won't you give me a chance?
[Verse 3]
Who would sail to Spain for all its wonders?
When in Kearney's Lane lies the greatest wonder yet?
Ah, miss
Look at you, look at you pale and
Ivory-skinned, oh
Look at you looking so sad, so queer
Promise
Not to retreat to the darkness
Back of your window
Not till you, not till you look down here
[Verse 4]
Look at me (Green finch and linnet bird, nightingale, blackbird)
Look at me (Teach me how to sing, if I cannot fly)
Look at me (Let me sing)
[Outro]
Alms, alms
For a miserable woman
Beg your pardon, it's you, sir
Thank you, thank you kindly
Hey, hoy, sailor boy
Want it snugly harbored?
Open me gate, but dock it straight
I see it lists to starboard
Alright, alright, alright, here, here, here, off with you, off with you!
