Oh the Golden Isles
More than just a destination
Shore birds sing
Their song of yesterday
Relax your toes
In the sand of Jekyll Island
Christmas in the carriage
And the lighting of the tree
In the French Quarter,
New Orleans and Beale Street
Barbecues and bourbon
Where young men sing the blues
Onboard meals
We're sailing to Oak Alley
Baton Rouge to the place
Where I was born
Take the trolley down
Through the marshlands to the coast.
Timeless beach
And laying in the sand
A mossy roof chateau,
Settled into nowhere
Everything you need
Is at the General Store

Dog and Pony

You'll be surprised
Won't that be nice
You'll be the prize on every shelf
You'll feel a twinge
You'll get an itch
You'll be someone
but not yourself
Marshall plays the mandolin for fun
She was born in 1881
Cloning like a cartoon man
She eats lots of ice cream every day
You'll be amazed
You'll be amazed
The Captain General says hello
You won't be phased
But rather dazed
About the dog and pony show
Oh let's all have a drink of something cold
Start a rumor break before it's old
Never sell a dog that can't be sold
Spite the moon and
celebrate the shade
Celebrate the shade
Celebrate the shade

- Give it to me now OK
- give it to me now OK
- turn it to me now this way
- turn it to me now OK

- Then you can see how some way
- Would you agree now OK
- To make it for free now someday

Happy In My Boat
The gentle sway is understood,
It's understood
There’s no control
To these controls
It's understood
Dependent now, dependent now,
I'm happy in my boat
So fast and free so fast and free
My sails arrest the wind
Across the miles, across the miles
We speculate and choose
What vanity, what vanity
could come your way
There is no shame in growing
younger every day
Dependent now, dependent now,
I'm happy in my boat
So fast and free so fast and free
My sails arrest the wind
Across the miles, across the miles
We speculate and choose
So fast and free so fast and free
My sails arrest the wind
Across the miles, across the miles
We speculate and choose
And now you bear the mark of fame
And recognition
So do the honors take the bow and
Say your prayers
You're next in line for the state of dereliction
The lover finds his challenge
Come to meet him
And trading rapture for the bitterness of loss
One taste of tenderness
Is wedded to perfection
So set the course and
Satisfy your obligation
Your prophecy
Another golden invitation
Dependent now, dependent now,
I'm happy in my boat
So fast and free so fast and free
My sails arrest the wind
Across the miles, across the miles
We speculate and choose

Courage and Destiny

When you wish on a star
Then you're halfway home
And you’re never too far
Cause you're never alone
It's a matter of truth
It's a matter of fact
And you get what you give
When you give it back
Courage and destiny
From the way we were
To the way we are
We've come so close
And we've come so far
As we sail on the stormy
Seas we find
A search for the meeting
Of heart and mind
In the midst of the crisis
Looming large
Say a prayer for what's fair
And wonder who's in charge
We can heal we can heal
From the forceful wrong
If you act what you feel
When you're feeling strong
Courage and charity
Let the world hear our voices loud and clear
Let the world hear our voices loud and clear
Let the world hear our voices loud and clear
Let the world hear our voices loud and clear
Courage and destiny

Some of you got your loafers
Some like Mary Jane
I got a pair of Monk shoes
Ain't doing any wrong
Take it on with the organ
Take a peep top-a-shoe
Got you a line on a Pointinini
And a rocker bottom shoe
I like like like shoes
I like like like shoes
I like ruby slippers
I like saddle shoes
I like my Doc Martens
And a cool snow boot
I got a spool mo heel
And a stiletto too
I got my toe shoe
I got a wedge tickler
Just give me a boat shoe
I'll walk a nautical mile
Just give me a boat shoe
Just give me a boat shoe
Just give me a boat shoe
I'll walk a nautical mile
Just give me a boat shoe
I'll walk a nautical mile
Just give me a boat shoe
I'll walk a nautical mile
Just give me a boat shoe
I'll walk a nautical mile
Someday soon
You'll be living with the Lions
Some day soon
You'll be riding in your coach
Someday soon
You'll be sleeping like a baby
Someday soon
You'll be more than just amused
Someday soon
You'll be living for the mistress
Someday soon
You will just invite yourself
Someday soon
You'll be sheltered from the North Wind
Someday soon
You will look down on the stars

Tuba had an idea
And he got down on the floor
Making a proposal
To the Turtles' Eleanor
She was really swell
And she did him really well
But look out Elenor...
