Song lyrics

This next song is not an original

But we cover it

And it's from the early seventies

And we'll probably have more fun than you will

So just watch us enjoy this and then we'll get back to business


Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo


There's a port on a western bay

And it serves a hundred ships a day

And though the sailors pass the time away

And talk about their homes

And there's a girl in this harbor town

And she works layin' whiskey down

They say, "Brandy, fetch another round"

She serves them whiskey and wine


The sailors say, "Brandy, you're a fine..." (You're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (Such a fine girl)

"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"


Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo


Now, Brandy wears a braided chain

Made of finest silver from the north of Spain

A locket that bears the name

Of the man that Brandy loves

He came on a summer's day

Bringing gifts from far away

And though he made it clear he couldn't stay

No harbor was his home


The sailor said "Brandy, you're a fine..." (You're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (Such a fine girl)

"But my wife, my lover, my lady is the sea"


Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo


Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes

As he told the sailor story

She could feel the ocean foam rise

As she saw the raging glory

Now, he had always told the truth

Lord, he was an honest man

And Brandy does her best to understand (Ha-ah)


Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo


At night when the bars close down

And Brandy walks through a silent town

She loves a man who's not around

She still can hear him say


She hears him say, "Brandy, you're a fine..." (You're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (Such a fine girl)

"But my wife, my lover, my lady is the sea"


Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo


"Yeah, Brandy, you're a fine..." (You're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (Such a fine girl)

"But my wife, my lover, my lady is the sea"


Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo

Is the sea

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo

Is the sea

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo, ooh, ooh, ooh
