Charley Noble Origins: Eager for departure to Departure Bay (6) RE: Origins: Eager for departure to Departure Bay 15 Jan 23


Well, I did my own transcribing:

By James Keelaghan and RonCasat on Small Rebellions, ©1988 SOCAN

Departure Bay

There’s a little boat,
Little people on the deck;
They’ve got on their raingear,
They’ve got on their turtlenecks;
They don’t care about the weather,
They don’t care about the spray;
Don’t seem to care about the freighter
That’s heading right their way.

Chorus:

Eager to be off,
Eager to be going!
Eager to be on my way!!!!!!
Anticipating motion,
Or another ocean,
Eager for departure to Departure Bay!

Fog is rolling in,
Gonna be a bad one;
It’s as thick as soup,
Gee, I sure wish I had some;
Well, I spent all my money
Playing video games;
Don’t you hate that when it happens,
Don’t you hate it when it rains. (CHO)

The Gates of Hell are guarded
By a pair of vicious dogs;
Hannibal was thwarted
By some flaming Roman hogs;
Me, I was defeated
By the ferry schedule;
Now I’m standing by the dockside
In twenty pounds of sopping wool. (CHO 2X)
