Sit right back And you'll hear a tale A tale of a fateful trip That started from this tropic port Aboard this tiny ship The mate was a mighty sailing man The skipper brave and sure Five passengers set sail that day For a three-hour tour, a three-hour tour One more thing? I took offense at your tone I guess what you consider matter-of-fact I consider rude and distasteful A three-hour tour A three-hour tour A three-hour tour A three-hour tour The weather started getting rough The tiny ship was tossed If not for the courage of the fearless crew The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost The Minnow would be lost
