Oh, I was once a sailor back in 1982
Sailed around the world inside a fiberglass canoe
Searching for the antidote that my poor heart could use
I was only 7 but it's what I had to do
And everybody says...

You can't be serious
You can't be serious
No

You can't be serious
You can't be serious
Oh

I set out to find my girl and, my girl, I found you
I would do it all again just to tie your shoe
Serious, I'm serious, every word is true
I would do it all again, just to tie her shoe
And everybody says

You can't be serious
You can't be serious
No

You can't be serious
You can't be serious
Oh

And everybody says
You can't be serious
You can't be serious
No

You can't be serious
You can't be serious
Oh

And everybody says
You can't be serious
You can't be serious
No

You can't be serious
You can't be serious
Oh

And everybody says
You can't be serious
You can't be serious
No

You can't be serious
You can't be serious
Oh
