Lyrics
Joel, the organ player, hits a long and lonely key His lover Johnny's heart lies with both Joel and the sea But Joel is a broken pirate, broken as can be He longs for land and new places to see So, jolly up the roger, lower your mast Johnny and Joel are never gonna last Raise a grog to trouble's past and yet to come There's a brave new world we've yet to see We've missed the hills and missed the trees And we're off (and we're off) to see the distant land I've seen the look that Joel gives as Johnny tends his mast It's a look of love and desperation just waiting to pass He contemplates his future as he pours another glass Johnny and Joel are never gonna last So, jolly up the roger, lower your mast Johnny and Joel are never gonna last Raise a grog to trouble's past and yet to come There's a brave new world we've yet to see We've missed the hills and missed the trees And we're off (and we're off) to see the distant land There's a brand new port in New York City We hear the boys are strong and pretty And the pubs are filled with rum and cheerful tune It's a brand new world, and Joel's intrigued But Johnny's heart lies with the sea Better think over what he's gonna do So, jolly up the roger, lower your mast Johnny and Joel are never gonna last Raise a grog to trouble's past and yet to come There's a brave new world we've yet to see We've missed the hills and missed the trees And we're off (and we're off) to see the distant land
