he's got that gleam in his eyes
and he can't look away
it's not the first time he's fallen
so hard in just days
he's infatuated again
and it won't go away
he's overwhelmed with desire
and he knows he'll pay

and he's living on boat logic
dreamin' of the Tropics
shucking it all and just sailing away
he's tired of being landlocked
tired of watching the clock
tick off more of his life
each and every day

it's the only thing on his mind
he thinks about it all of the time
he can't think of anything else
he's so obsessed he needs help

he knows that there must be a way
we can live without cable
cancel the paper
cut back to just two meals a day

he thinks,
if I could just get 15 for mine
and talk them down eight or nineteen
then the bank
would probably float me a loan

and then we'll be underway
we won't think about the bills
or how we will pay them
boat logic, what can I say

it's the only thing on his mind
he thinks about it all of the time
he can't think of anything else
he's so obsessed he needs help

he knows that there must be a way
we'll sell one of the cars
roll up the change in the jars
I'll cut back to just two beers a day
huh, wait a minute, what did I say??

it's illogical folly at best
to landlubbers it makes no sense
but that's boat logic, what can I say
you know boat logic, happens everyday
yea that's boat logic
soon we'll be on our way
