sailing sailing over the water blue
hail the kingston trio
cuba’s calling youououou
it takes a worried man
to sing a worried song

to sing a worried song

but i won’t be worried long
we got the kingston trio
some work on cuba’s shores

to do a few encores

dion and the belmonts
are driving us to tears
let’s send them up the river
for about a hundred years
while the kids are watching dion singing about the stars
the belmonts are out in the parking lot stealing hubcaps off
of cars
each time i steal a hubcap
it almost breaks my heart
why do i steal a hubcap
why do i have to start
each night i ask the stars without fail
why must i be a teenager in jail
where these groups all come from
we really do not know
but if they ever ask us
we will tell them where to go
