G D G Lake George is just lovely at this time of year, C Am G D And there’s nothing like sailing to bring you some cheer, G D G I set out Friday morning the weather was fine, C G D G The sun and the water, and feeling sublime, C D G C Now I’m stranded on George in my Top Hat and tails, C D G Em The wind blows me in circles though fluttering sail, G C G C I’ve only one oar, so I just turn around, G D G I hope that real soon I’ll be found. I don’t have a sailboat, but I did have a sheet, Tied to a broom-handle, my ship is complete, But the thing I forgot, as I set out that day, Is a boat that can’t tack will go only one way. Now darkness has fallen, the wind starts to rise, The rough lake’s night water comes over the sides, What’s that I see flashing, far off on the shore, After SES rescue I’ll be on TV for sure,
