Lyrics:

(Words by Van Halen)



You ready? (Yeah)

One, two, one, two, three, four

Out upon the islands on a cool summer night

Buddy, you don't got to hurry, take your time

What you need is on the menu and you get it tonight

Buddy, you got womens on your mind



Could this be magic? Or could this be love?

Could this turn tragic? You know that magic often does



And I see lonely ships upon the water

Better save the women and children first

Sail away with someone's daughter

Better save the women and children first



I hear music on the landin' an' there's laughter in the air

Just could be your boat is comin' in

Yeah you're leanin' back an' yeah, a foot tappin'

Ain't got your head right

There's a full moon out tonight. Baby, let's begin



And she said 'Could this be magic? Or could this be love?' Uh, oh

An' I said 'Could this turn tragic? You know that magic often does'



And I see lonely ships upon the water

Better save the women and children first

Sail away with someone's daughter

Better save the women and children first



Edward? Thank you



(Guitar Solo)

(Was)



And she said 'Could this be magic? Or, could this be love?'

And I said 'Could this turn tragic? You know that magic often does'



N' I see lonely ships upon the water

Better save the women and children first

Sail away with someone's daughter

Better save the women and children first. Yes, ah
