lyrics

Ye can take me love, ye can take me land, ye can even take me ancestry
But you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
Ye can steal me pride, ye can cross the king, ye can even learn to water ski
But you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
Ye should mount yer steed and begone with ye
I don't want to hear yer lusty pleas
'Cause you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea

These waves are too much fer you to handle
You should spend yer day over there on the beach
You don't stand a chance, you don't even own a candle
So you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea

Ye can take me life, ye can curse me grave, ye can even take the air I breathe
But you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
But you stay away, keep yer mittens off
Don't ye ever touch my board, you kook
'Cause you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea

These waves are too much fer you to handle
So you spend yer day over there on the beach
You don't stand a chance, you don't even own a candle
So you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea

Down, down to the briny deep
The waters here be mighty cold
And so you drown, and yer women folk will weep
The Baltic Sea will keep yer soul

Ye can take me love, ye can take me land, ye can even take me ancestry
But you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
Ye can steal me pride, ye can cross the king, ye can even learn to water ski
But you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
Ye can mount yer steed and begone with ye
I don't want to hear yer salty pleas
'Cause you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea

These waves may well be your fantasy
But you'll never, ever surf the Baltic Sea
Aight?!?
