水手怕水 [Shuǐ shǒu pà shuǐ] [Sailor Afraid of Water] [English translation]

The Ocean is so scary

Call me "sailor"

Oh oh come on come on baby

The mermaid is trying to seduce me, low blow

Oh call me "sailor"

Oh oh come on come on honey

I like you better than I like money

The ship is my home

The ocean is my toilet

I'm allergic to the ocean, been a vegetarian for a long time,

I wanted to be a singer but ended up as a sailor

Oh oh~ I have a bit of a Cantonese accent,

No no, I'm going to places far away

Popeye loves to eat spinach

But I like rice gruel and snacks with some seaweed

ring-a-ding ring-a-ding, ring-a-ding ring-a-ling

ring-a-ding ring-a-ding, ring-a-ding ring-a-ling

Why can't my alarm wake me up?

ring-a-ding ring-a-ding, ring-a-ding ring-a-ling

ring-a-ding ring-a-ding, ring-a-ding ring-a-ling

Mister Lin is drinking milk

Call me "sailor"

oh oh come on come on baby

The mermaid is trying to seduce me, low blow

Oh call me "sailor"

Oh oh come on come on honey

I like you better than I like money

All those seafood,

The ones you catch you can eat, you know you can't eat them,

The ones you catch you can eat, you know you can't eat them, can't eat them, can't eat them,

Stop yourself from eating toast

(this portion is a nonsensical tongue twister, doesn't make sense in English)

Repeat after me, come~

The ones you catch you can eat, you know you can't eat them,

The ones you catch you can eat, you know you can't eat them, can't eat them, can't eat them,

Stop yourself from eating toast, make up by eating lots of toast

I buy seafood from fish markets to set them free

I go to the aquarium and take all the fish

There's only one species I can't scoop up

Its last name is Great and first name is White Shark (Great White!)

The captain said that we'll sail by hand to decrease our carbon footprint

Once we have the time we'll get on deck to absorb sunlight

Put on some sunscreen, and wait for a mermaid to get hooked

Go!

ring-a-ding ring-a-ding, ring-a-ding ring-a-ling

ring-a-ding ring-a-ding, ring-a-ding ring-a-ling

Why can't my alarm wake me up?

ring-a-ding ring-a-ding, ring-a-ding ring-a-ling

ring-a-ding ring-a-ding, ring-a-ding ring-a-ling

Mister Lin is drinking milk

Call me "sailor"

oh oh come on come on baby

The mermaid is trying to seduce me, low blow

Oh call me "sailor"

Oh oh come on come on honey

I like you better than I like money

Call me "sailor"

oh oh come on come on baby

The mermaid is trying to seduce me, low blow

Oh call me "sailor"

Oh oh come on come on honey

I like you better than I like money

Call me "sailor"

oh oh come on come on baby

The mermaid is trying to seduce me, low blow (Great White)

Oh call me "sailor"

Oh oh come on come on honey

I like you better than I like money
