Debbie Reynolds - Oceana Roll Lyrics
Billy McCoy was a musical boyOn the Cruiser Alabama he was there at the pianaLike a fish down in the sea, he would rattle off some harmonyEvery night out on the ocean he would get that raggy motionStart that syncopated motion lovinglyNo one could sleep way out there on the deepWhen Billy cut loose out at sea(release)Each fish and worm... begins to twist & turnThe ship goes in a dip and does a corkscrew turnYou see that smoke so black sneak from that old smokestackIt's floatin' right up to heaven and it won't come backNow here and there you'll see a stool and a chairA-slippin' 'round the cabin sayin' I don't careThen the hammock starts a-swingin' & the bell begins a-ringin'While he's sittin' at that piana... there on the AlabamaPlayin' the Oceana RollEngland and Spain, it was always the sameHe'd be there at the piana on the Cruiser AlabamaEvery mornin' noon & nite, he would keep it up with all his mightEvery time he started playin', all the boys would start a-swayin'Everyone would keep on sayin' Don't You StopSailors take care, oh sailors bewareFor bill will play on 'til you dropRelease
