One of these days I get my boat on the water
My boat on the water one of these days
Named after my girl Cecilia Carter
You know the American actress?
And when Cecilia floats on the water
And winter is over come summertime
Very soon now I'm going to be a father
I hope it's a daughter this time
And if I get, if I get enough money
Or I find a pot of gold
I have a big family to look after me when I'm old
But first of all, all I want is this boat see
My Dad never could afford one you see
He got too many mouths to feed
My Mamma always used to say to me darling
To everything there is a beginning
So first I got to get Cecilia Carter on the water floating
I stopped by the river bank
And put my toes in the sand
I might not need a family plan
Cos if I listen to my heart
I'll forever be Cecilia's man
And if I get, if I get enough money
Or I find a pot of gold
I have a big family to look after me when I'm old
But first of all, all I want is this boat see
My Dad never could afford one you see
He got too many mouths to feed
And if I get, if I get enough money
Or I find a pot of gold
I have a big family to look after me when I'm old
But first of all, all I want is this boat see
My Dad never could afford one you see
He got too many mouths to feed
