Pleasure Cruise
Performer(s): George Formby



Holiday time, some sunny clime, calling to you and me
You quickly choose a wonderful cruise, out on the open sea
The first day you're content, you're awfully glad you went
On a pleasure cruise to drive away your blues
The pleasures of a pleasure cruise

Down the companion way you fall ten times a day
Someone finds you sitting on the point of the Captain's compass
On the deck you nearly break your neck, your sea legs you can't use
You dive into the ocean for a swim, it's such a lark
Till you find you've been bitten in the bulwarks by a shark
Oh, what a pleasure cruise to drive away your blues
The pleasures of a pleasure cruise

Steamers and tramps show coloured lamps
Amber and green and red
Your ship runs aground, but somehow you've found 
The street traffic lights instead
You sail once more then find, you've left half the ship behind
On a pleasure cruise to drive away your blues
The pleasures of a pleasure cruise

Your cabin's far too small, you've got no room at all
Someone finds you sitting in your bunk with your feet through the porthole
One dark night I turn first left, then right, my way I seemed to lose
A honeymooning couple, they created such a scene
Because I was discovered where the bridegroom should have been
Oh, what a pleasure cruise to drive away your blues
The pleasures of a pleasure cruise

(Oh, what a pleasure cruise to drive away your blues)
(The pleasures of a pleasure cruise)
