The rattle of a chain as the anchor rolls
The skipper nods as the whistle blows
As me and my baby heard those engines whine

She gave a shake and a mighty groan
The stern went down and the bow did foam
As we set sail on the S.S. Lureline

We picked up steam on the briny deep
I gotta date for a wedding that I'm going to keep
I gotta see the captain and have him make you mine

Up on the bow in the silver spray
I said I'd love on a Rambo Bay
As we tied the knot on the S.S. Lureline

The porpoise played as we sailed along
The tradewinds seemed to hum our song
As evening fell and the stars began to shine

I saw moonbeams in your hair
There had never been a bride so fair
As I held you close on the S.S. Lureline

I know I'll never forget that day
Those two words that I heard you say
When you said "I do" and promised to be mine

Spring of love has reached December
Darling I'll always remember
Our honeymoon on the S.S. Lureline
