We're in the same boat brother
We're in the same boat brother
And if you shake one end
You gonna rock the other
It's the same boat brother
The Lord looked down from his holy place
Said Lawd duh me what a sea of space
What a spot to launch the human race
So he built him a boat for a mixed-up crew
With eyes of Black and Brown and Blue
So that's how's come that you and I
Got just one world and just one sky
We're in the same boat brother
We're in the same boat brother
And if you shake one end
You gonna rock the other
It's the same boat brother
So the boiler blew through storm and grief
Hit many a rock and many a reef
What keep them going was a great belief
So they had to learn to navigate
That the human race was a special freight
If they didn't want to be in Jonah's shoes
Better be mated on this here cruise
We're in the same boat brother
We're in the same boat brother
And if you shake one end
You gonna rock the other
It's the same boat brother
So the boiler blew somewhere in Spain
All the kettle was smashed and 40 cranes
Steam boat out from the Oregon Main
Oh it took some time for the crew to learn
What is bad for the bow ain't good for the stern
If a fire took place in China today
Pearl Harbor just gonna blaze away
We're in the same boat brother
We're in the same boat brother
And if you shake one end
You gonna rock the other
It's the same boat brother
It's the same boat brother
It's the same boat brother
And if you shake one end
You gonna rock the other
It's the same boat brother
