Round the Cape The Longest Johns

[Verse 1]
Well we're goin' round the cape, gold and shores to find
900 miles of wind and waves smashing up the sides
We're goin' round the cape, there is no other way
For trade, and king, and countrymen, we'll brave the foam and spray

[Chorus]
So tell my love that I'll be back someday
It's rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away
When I return, I swear I'm gonna stay
So rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away

[Verse 2]
I left my home and land to sail a clipper ship
Into the parts of my own map that barely have been writ
I must be out my mind to leave England in my wake
But I'll get that silver in my ear, we're goin' round the cape

[Chorus]
So tell my love that I'll be back someday
It's rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away
When I return, I swear I'm gonna stay
So rock and roll a-, rock and roll a-, rock and roll away

[Bridge]
It's a long way home, but many miles to go
There's a gale that's trying to drag us all below
And I long to dream of any better fate
But what awaits the brave around the cape?
