This Boat Lyrics by Ro Halfhide

Paint the Town

2021

[Chorus]
This boat is going to Philadelphia
But I don't wanna go to Philadelphia
It's five hours, the road to London
But I'd rather stay here in England
This boat is going to Philadelphia
But I don't wanna go to Philadelphia
It's five hours, the road to London
But I'd rather stay here in England

[Verse 1]
I'm leaving for the new world
With my head in a swirl
Like some common refugee
I ride the waves with my bride to be
"All aboard, you immigrants"
The purser said with some militance
We're sailing away from our troubled past
Towards a future that's shaky at best

[Chorus]
This boat is going to Philadelphia
But I don't wanna go to Philadelphia
It's five hours, the road to London
But I'd rather stay here in England
This boat is going to Philadеlphia
But I don't wanna go to Philadelphia
It's five hours, the road to London
But I'd rathеr stay here in England

[Refrain]
I got a master plan
I gotta master you, yeah
I got a master plan
I gotta master you, mm-mm

[Verse 2]
Looking at the evening tide
Right beyond the harbour light
Separated from my elders above
Carry me to the city of brotherly love

[Chorus]
This boat is going to Philadelphia
But I don't wanna go to Philadelphia
It's five hours, the road to London
But I'd rather stay here in England
This boat is going to Philadelphia
But I don't wanna go to Philadelphia
It's five hours, the road to London
But I'd rather stay here in England

[Outro]
This boat is going
