I would rather be at the boathouse, out of the daily grind
I’d sooner be down at the boathouse, what a way to unwind
Now I don’t wanna know how it feels to be set back
So I’m leavin’ here on a one-way track
I’d rather be in mosquito alley, out of my right hand lane
You should see my mosquiot tally, all that moves is fair game
Now I don’t wanna know how it feels not to be loose
So I’m leavin’ here on the first caboose
So I’m leavin’ here on the first caboose
I can’t sleep by a gentle ocean, I can’t sleep my a water fall
I can’t sleep by a lovely river. I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep
Dee dee dee, dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee
I would rather sleep at the boathouse, what more can I say
I’d soon eat down at the boathouse, let it carry me away
Now I don’t wanna know how it feels to step aside
So I’m leavin’ here on a wicked ride
Or I could be back at the alehouse, with a flagon or two
A few blocks south of the jailhouse, with a hole in my shoe
Now I don’t wanna know how it feels to stop a truck
So I’m leavin’ here and wishin’ you good luck
I’m leavin’ here and wishin’ you good luck
I can’t sleep by a gentle ocean, I can’t sleep my a water fall
I can’t sleep by a lovely river. I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep
Dee dee dee, dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee
I’d rather be in mosquito alley, keepin’ spiders in line
I’d sooner be down at the boathouse, what a way to unwind
Now I don’t wanna know how it feels not to be loose
So I’m leavin’ here on the first caboose
I’m leavin’ here on the first caboose
