Lyrics for Longer Boats

Longer boats are coming to win us They're coming to win us, they're coming to win us Longer boats are coming to win us Hold on to the shore, they'll be taking the key from the door Longer boats are coming to win us They're coming to win us, they're coming to win us Longer boats are coming to win us Hold on to the shore, they'll be taking the key from the door, oh I don't want no God on my lawn Just a flower I can help along 'Cause the soul of no body knows How a flower grows, oh How a flower grows Longer boats are coming to win us They're coming to win us, they're coming to win us Longer boats are coming to win us Hold on to the shore, they'll be taking the key from the door Mary dropped her pants by the sand And let a parson come and take her hand But the soul of nobody knows Where the parson goes Where does the parson go? Longer boats are coming to win us They're coming to win us, they're coming to win us Longer boats are coming to win us Hold on to the shore, they'll be taking the key from the door
