Seventy-three men sailed up

From the San Francisco Bay,

Rolled off of their ship

And here's what they had to say.

"We're callin' everyone to ride along

To another shore,

We can laugh our lives away

and be free once more."

But no one heard them callin',

No one came at all,

'Cause they were too busy watchin'

Those old raindrops fall.

As a storm was blowin'

Out on the peaceful sea,

Seventy-three men sailed off

To history.

Ride, captain ride

Upon your mystery ship,

Be amazed at the friends

You have here on your trip.

Ride captain ride

Upon your mystery ship,

On your way to a world

That others might have missed.

Seventy-three men sailed up

From the San Francisco Bay,

Got off their ship

And here's what they had to say.

"We're callin' everyone to ride along

To another shore,

We can laugh our lives away

And be free once more."

Ride, captain ride

Upon your mystery ship,

Be amazed at the friends

You have here on your trip.

Ride, captain ride

Upon your mystery ship,

On your way to a world

That others might have missed.

Ride, captain ride

Upon your mystery ship,

Be amazed at the friends

You have here on your trip
