Out up on the islands on a cool summer night,
Buddy, you don't have to worry - take your time
What you need is on the menu, and you'll get it tonight
Buddy, you've got womens on your mind

Pre-chorus:

(harmony)

Could this be Magic?
Or could this be love?
Could this turn tragic -
You know that magic often does.....

Chorus/Reprise:

And I see

Lonely ships upon the water (harmony)
Better save the women and children first
Sail away with someone's daughter (harmony)
Better save the women and children first

I hear music on the landing, and(might be 'then' instead of 'and') there's laughter in the air
Just could be a boat is coming in
Yeah, you're leaning back and yeah, foot's tappin
/ain't got your head right
There's a full moon out tonight, baby let's begin

and she said

Pre-Chorus:

(harmony)

Could this be magic?
Or could this be love?

uh-oh!
and I said,

Could this turn tragic -
You know that magic often does....

Chorus/Reprise:

And I see

Lonely ships upon the water (harmony)
Better save the women and children first
Sail away with someone's daughter (harmony)
Better save the women and children first

Edward? (as in Eddie, as in their lead guitarist)

(starts solo)

Thank you

(continues solo)

and she says,

Pre-Chorus:

(harmony)

Could this be magic?
Or could this be love?

(just Dave)

And I say,

(harmony)

Could this turn tragic -
You know that magic often does.....

Chorus/Reprise:

And I see

Lonely ships upon the water (harmony)
Better save the women and children first
Sail away with someone's daughter (harmony)
Better save the women and children first

Yes sir....
