The Merry Wives Of Windsor - Motion of the Ocean lyrics

While traveling through Spain I met a gallant captain He liked to brag about his enormous galleon Despite her two anchors and her long mast of wood His big, manly ship couldn't sail like it should In every port the ship size is the notion But here is the secret Of a girl's devotion It's not the size of the ship It's the motion of the ocean As I explored the East I met a man in China Who swore his famous junk was goin' to thrill ya Contrary to his promise it was not a great ride And like many sailors about his junk he lied In every port the ship size is the notion But here is the secret Of a girl's devotion It's not the size of the ship It's the motion of the ocean In France I met a man who liked to race his schooner Just so he could get his pa**enger there sooner The size of his rigging made all the girls swoon The trip ended early when he came in port too soon In every port the ship size is the notion But here is the secret Of a girl's devotion It's not the size of the ship It's the motion of the ocean For a Dutch man I fell and in Holland I did go He wanted to show me his impressive cargo Its size made me marvel so on his ship I rode But in the end his pinnace just could not launch its load In every port the ship size is the notion But here is the secret Of a girl's devotion It's not the size of the ship It's the motion of the ocean At home in my port a sailor took me on a cruise He didn't look like much but I had nothing to lose His dinghy it was teeny but the point of our song His motion in my ocean got me home all night long In every port the ship size is the notion But here is the secret Of a girl's devotion It's not the size of the ship In every port the ship size is the notion But here is the secret Of a girl's devotion It's not the size of the ship It's the motion, it's the motion, it's the motion of the ocean
