Yacht Club Bar Song, Chorus I love to sit around the yacht club bar and talk about the things we’re going to do. I love to sit around the yacht club bar because it doesn’t move. The swells are big and the winds are high but that don’t bother me. Cause I never get lost and my tummy doesn’t toss It’s a wonderful life on the sea.
Yacht Club Bar Song, Verse 4 My sailing days are over, cause of that great scare. You others take a warning, and don’t you go out there. There’s winds and seas and swells so high, how can you stay afloat. Be like me and drink to the sea and don’t untie your boat.
