S.O.S

Verse 1
What just happened?
I think I hit my head, where am I?
Oh yeah, I'm on my boat, what's the date, what's the time?
I am lost at sea.
Nobody here, nobody here with me.
I'm off course, just drifting in the wind.
I'm a long, long way from my port of call
Chorus
S.O.S. Mayday.
I'm taking on water, being tossed about.
I need a little help here can you see a way to bail me out.
The situation's desperate.
The seas are high with waves crashing all around
I think my boat and I are going down
Verse 2
I hear the thunder, see the lightning strike.
The rain is falling holding on for dear life
I shiver from the cold. I think I might die,
I'm losing all control. Will I ever get home?
Chorus
S.O.S. Mayday.
I'm taking on water, being tossed about.
I need a little help here can you see a way to bail me out.
The situation's desperate.
The seas are high with waves crashing all around
I think my boat and I are going down
Bridge
As I open my eyes,
The bright shining sun is a welcome surprise.
My life vest, still keeps me afloat.
Verse 3
Now what's that sound I hear?
I look to see what could be there.
It's a large white ship in the distance
Cutting through the mist, bearing down on me
Chorus
S.O.S. Mayday.
I'm taking on water, being tossed about.
I need a little help here can you see a way to bail me out.
S.O.S. Mayday.
I'm taking on water, being tossed about.
I need a little help here can you see a way to bail me out.
The situation's desperate.
The seas are high with waves crashing all around
I think my boat and I are going down
S.O.S. Mayday S.O.S. Mayday
S.O.S. Mayday S.O.S. Mayday
S.O.S. Mayday S.O.S. Mayday
Oooh S.O.S. Mayday (S.O.S. S.O.S. S.O.S. Mayday)
