Here are the lyrics to "Sloop June B", a song my sister composed (borrowing from the Beach Boys) for singing when on my sailboat.

"Sloop June B"

by Alice Stipak


We come on the sloop June B
My brother Brian and me
Around Portland town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so seasick
I want to go home

So hoist up the June B's sails
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home (let me go home)
Let me go home (let me go home)
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so seasick
I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk
And nearly got us sunk
So call a cab to come and take me away (take me away)
Where's the cell phone? (Where's the cell phone?)
Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so seasick, I wanna go home

So hoist up the June B's sails
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home (let me go home)
I wanna go home (let me go home)
Why don't you let me go home (let me go home)
I feel so seasick I wanna go home
(Let me go home)

The Captain got in a bad mood
And threw away all my food
And then he took and he drank up all of my brew
Let me go home (let me go home)
Why don't they let me go home (let me go home)
This is the worst trip I've ever been on (let me go home)

So hoist up the June B's sails
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home (let me go home)
I wanna go home (let me go home)
Why don't you let me go home (let me go home)
I feel so seasick I wanna go home
(Let me go home)
