My Ship
"My ship has sails which are made of silk  
The decks are trimmed with gold.  
And of jam and spice  
There's a paradise  
In the hold.  

My ship's aglow with a million pearls  
And rubies fill each bin;  
The sun sits high  
In a sapphire sky  
When my ship comes in." 
 

K. Weill and I. Gershwin, 1940
