For the voyage is done and the winds don't blow and it's time for us to leave her.
From the Chilly north, to the sunny south, Leave her, Johnny, leave her.
Just to catch some rays and let our skin hang out, For it's time for us to leave her.

While we bounced along in our big white vans, For it's time for us to leave her.
