Long nights of lockdown and curfew resulted in this joyous celebration of meeting up with friends on hot summer nights for a cocktail or three...!

lyrics

Raise a glass, take a sip from Singapore
What are you waiting for?
Come with me,
Let’s go round the world in a ship in a bottle, and
we’ll put on our finest dancing shoes

and we’ll go down
to the waterfront
it’s a warm night
too nice to stay inside

and all we need is a tall ship
and a neon star
to steer her by

Maybe you’ll take a glass of golden rum
still warm from the sun of the South Seas
Or perhaps you might prefer it over ice
Or mixed with lime and just a dash of spice

Who knows best? It’s up to you
So many things to try!

But here you’ll find your tall ship
and a neon star to steer her by

Pour me a glass of oranges from Spain
Top it up with champagne and
dance the night away beneath the crescent moon
dance your way across the crowded room!

Let’s sail her on to the eastern seas
Beyond the brightening sky
We’ve found us a tall ship
And a neon star to steer her by

Raise a glass to all who sail with her,
in jeans or sequins or high heels,
Raise your glass to those who’ve sailed with her before
Raise a glass and laugh as we come ashore

And when you want to come with me
And sail beneath the sky

Put on your finest dancing shoes
And hold your head up high

All we need is a tall ship
And a neon star to steer her by
