STOWAWAY
(Leigh / Livingston)

as recorded by Barbara Lyon
with Ray Martin & his Orchestra
1955


I'd like to go away,
Be a stowaway,
Take a trip
On a ship,
Have my worries blow away!

There are still many treasure islands
That wait to be explored,
And the wide world is full of wonders for me!
When a ship standing in the harbour,
I'll wish myself aboard,
And I hark till the rolling tide carries me to sea.

Then I go sailing far,
Off to Zanzibar
Though my dream
Places seem
Better than they really are!

Way down deep in my heart
I keep them,
As people will often do,
Who are stay at home stowaways too!

Way down deep in my heart
I keep them,
As people will often do,
Who are stay at home stowaways too!
