Lyrics

On the seven seas there was aphantom ship acoming
Shinin' in the dead of night
I heard the crew a hummin'
Tunes that sounded like the rolling stones and leonard cohen
But they didn't know the words
So I assumed that they was foreign

Chorus
But I heard them just the same doctor let me teach 'em
I just wanna please 'em, doctor let me teach 'em

I looked up in the sky there was a phantom plane a comin'
Shinin' in the dead of night
I heard the pilot saying
Poems that were written by john keats and robert browning
But he didn't know the words so
I suppose that it was nothing

Chorus
But I heard them just the same doctor let me teach 'em
I just wanna please 'em, doctor let me teach 'em

Doctor please believe me, I know you won't decieve me
But do these things I'm seein', have any hidden meaning
It's all good entertainment and it doesn't cost a penny
So please doc, let me teach 'em, if I could only reach 'em

Chorus
But I heard them just the same doctor let me teach 'em
I just wanna please 'em, doctor let me teach 'em
