Once again, look at me and check out my amazing boat and adventure on the sea - I'm having such an amazing time. Take a good hard look at the motherfuckin' boat (shorty, shorty, yeah) I never thought I'd encounter a big boat on my journey, but I didn't just see that - I also had sex with a mermaid, which is pretty wild. Even Poseidon, the god of the sea, should acknowledge my coolness. I never thought I'd have such an amazing adventure sailing on the ocean, but now I am, and it's exhilarating. I feel like I could do anything, even fly this boat to the moon, like Kevin Garnett's awesome basketball skills. Mom, look how cool I am with my arms spread wide on the boat. I'm with my friends having fun, and the boat's engine is loud and cool. I don't care about anything on land, I'm on a boat and it's awesome. If you're not on the boat with me, then you're missing out.ĭon't just sit there, get up and join the party, because this boat and this adventure is totally real! I'm cruising through the water quickly, and I'm feeling like a king wearing my fancy boat-themed scarf. I'm actually riding on a wild dolphin in the open sea, and it's a real adventure that you'll never forget. We're having a great time on the boat, drinking fancy champagne and having fun, while you're stuck working at your boring job. I'm sailing on the open sea, moving fast with the wind at my back, and nothing can slow me down or stop me. I'm on a boat and I'm proud of it, so look at me and my sweet ride. 'Cause I'm sailing on a boat (sailing on a boat)
