Christmas Schooner Lyrics

Chorus:
And its clang, clang, clang full steam ahead
Haul away haul away Ho
It’s the Christmas Schooner bringing Christmas trees Yo
Ho

The Captain had a twinkle in his blue eyes he had
bright red rosy cheeks
A crew that kind of looked like elves all dressed in
red and green
The waves were big the wind was high she was sailing
with a bone in her teeth
Underneath that old bow sprit was a giant Christmas
wreath

Chorus

Dolphins played in her bow wave and whales jumped in
her wake
A pelican circled overhead saying hurry for goodness
sake
She was heading down south from way up north where the
ocean it does freeze Haulin a load of Christmas cheer to the land of the
coconut tree

Bridge:
Is that Santa Claus at the wheel now who could say?
A mighty sailing ship or was that Santa’s sleigh?
Sailed into harbor in the middle of the night
Left Christmas trees and cheer sailed on by morning
light

Then you heard
Chorus

Now children they have seen her from Maine to Key
Biscayne
From Fiji to Australia and round the world again
Now when you see a Christmas tree you’ll know she’s
passed your way
Just close your eyes, say “I believe” and she’ll be
back next Christmas day

Bridge
