Battened Hatches
Candlesticks and battened hatches, deck of cards and waterproof matches*
We’ll sail on, through the storm, come what may.
We’ve got all we need, no reason to be afraid.
When the world’s been raining, raining, raining cats and dogs.
When the world’s been flooded, flooded all the dry land is gone.
All we’ve got left is each other and this boat we’re on.
Now give a kiss and bat those lashes. I’ll check the knots and find where the flask is.
Our clothes are worn, so we’ll stay warm, come what may.
We’ve got all we need, no reason to complain.
When the world’s been raining, raining, raining cats and dogs.
When the world’s been flooded, flooded all the dry land is gone.
All we’ve got left is each other and this boat we’re on.
