We was sliding down a stream
On a raft or in a dream
I don't care
Birds was there
And I was home
There was a bottle in the sun
You and me we'd done split one
I don't care
One was there
The cork was thrown

We cooked a trout up for our lunch
We'd had more worms we'd a caught a bunch
I don't care
Fish was there
And they weren't goin'
We passed a wood 'bout suppertime
There's trees enough in there to climb
I don't care
There's bears in there
We'd best float on

The moon was new and the dark was deep
You told me stories 'til I feel asleep
I don't care
There's dreams in there
To tell me more
We got up when the moon went down
We was sailing right through town
I don't care
There's people there
Double time the oars

Next day we made sail
Drew a picture of a whale
I don't care
No humpbacks there
It just looked right
The alligators all would wave
As we our best catches gave
I don't care
There's enough to spare
Just for the sight

It went on and on that way
'Til we hit Baloney Bay
I don't care
There's trains down there
To get me home
So our pirate days were through
But there must be something new
I don't care
A world's out there
For us to roam
