On the seven seas, there was a phantom ship a-comin'

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



But I heard them just the same

Oh, doctor, let me teach 'em

I just wanna please 'em now

I said, "Doctor, let me teach 'em

I just wanna please 'em now"



I looked up in the sky: there was a phantom plane a-comin'

Shinin' in the dead of night

I heard the pilot saying

But he didn't know the words

So I suppose that it was nothing



But I heard them just the same

Oh, doctor, let me teach 'em

I just wanna please 'em now

I said, "Doctor, let me teach 'em

I just wanna please 'em now"



Oh, doctor, please believe me

I know you won't deceive 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



But I heard them just the same

Oh, doctor, let me teach 'em

I just wanna please 'em now

Oh, doctor, let me teach 'em

I just wanna please 'em now
