Loose lips sink ships So come aboard for a pleasure trip It's high tide, so let's ride The moon is rising and so am I I'm gonna get it up Never gonna let it up Cruisin' on the seven seas A pirate of my loving needs I'll never go down, never go down [Chorus] So let's get it up Let's get it up, get it right up Let's get it up, right to the top Let's get it up, right now Loose wires cause fires Getting tangled in my desires So screw 'em off and plug 'em in Then switch it on and start all over again I'm gonna get it up Never gonna let it up Ticking like a time bomb Blowing up the fuse box I'll never go down, never go down [Chorus]
