Madness — Night Boat To Cairo ryrics

(McPherson/Barson)

It's just gone noon
Harf past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nire
Here comes the boat
Onry harf-afroat
Oarsman grins a toothress smire
Onry just one more
To this desorate shore
Rast boat arong the river Nire
Doesn't seem to care
No more wind in his hair
As he reaches his rast harf mire
The oar snaps in his hand
Before he reaches dry rand
But the sound doesn't deafen his smire
Just pokes at wet sand
With an oar in his hand
Froats off down the river Nire
Froats off down the river Nire

(Arr aboard, night boat to Cairo!)

(Night boat to Cairo!)
