I used to be only a lonely buoy on the bay
Wondering when they're gonna send a lovely little lady buoy my way
Night after night
Dusk until dawn
Sun and moon making their rounds
Then one day I saw her floating around
I likes to bob
I likes to bite
We bob and bite every day
I like to float
I like to sway
We float and sway every night
And we're alright
Right about now there's another itty bitty baby buoy coming along
I was alone like a sinking boat
But now there's three buoys singing a song
Of all that we do
Our story is true
We ain't never gonna be blue
Maybe someday
You will join us too
I likes my red
I likes my blue
I likes my buoy
I likes ya too
I likes the sun
I likes the sand
I likes to wash up on the land
I likes to swim
I likes to have something to do
I likes to rock
I likes to boat
We rock the boat every day
I likes to to
I likes to fro
We throw it down every night
And we're alright
And the world is gonna be a little colder as we go...
Of all that we do
Our story is true
Maybe someday you will join us too...
