Convoy

You were born while adrift
In the open seas
A ship sailed in the morning light
Of a thunderous war

And you were taken aboard
Onto the ship HMS Hermione
And you traveled 'round and 'round
Till the sea was yours

And the Captain said
You were his favorite
His favorite
(You were his favorite)

And the rest of the crew
Would come to love you too

A cat adrift in the Great Blue Sea
Running away from you and me
Only to be found later
In his favorite sleeping spot

Convoy likes to sleep in the hammock
That his shipmates made for him
Cruising on the Royal Navy ship

There's a name you don't wanna forget
It's Convoy, Convoy

(Come on, Convoy) Convoy, Convoy
(Come on, Convoy) Convoy Convoy

You were king of the ship
And everyone adored you
But most of all
The Captain loved you above all others

And one day, when he was sad
And you climbed onto his lap
And he smiled down at you
You felt like you'd found your purpose in life

And the day the ship goes down
You'll go down with it
(Down, down)
You'll go down with it
(Down, down)

For this is your home
You can't live without it
You won't die without it

Convoy likes to sleep in the hammock
That his shipmates made for him
Cruising on the Royal Navy ship

There's a name you don't wanna forget
It's Convoy, Convoy

(Come on, Convoy) Convoy, Convoy
(Come on, Convoy) Convoy Convoy

There's a name you don't wanna forget
There's a name you just can't forget
Convoy, Convoy lives in my head
Convoy is the name

There's a name you don't wanna forget
There's a name you just can't forget
Convoy, Convoy lives in my head
Convoy, Bon Voyage
