When the sky goes grey and the fog rolls in
and the sea gets angry like a lunatic
When the wind blows cold and you can't get home
Lighthouse Willie's got the coffee on
You' got all hands working and all eyes searching
Lighthouse Willie's got the coffee on.

When the rain comes down like the wrath of God
and the main sail's gone to the wind and fog
Thank your stars and the good Lord too
that Lighthouse Willie's looking out for you

When you see that light in the lighthouse turning
a spark of life in the distance burning
Thank your stars and the good Lord too
that Lighthouse Willie's looking out for you.

The children cry the ladies weep
the men are stranded on the raging sea
The thunder roars 'til it shakes your bones
and Lighthouse Willie's got the coffee on.

When you see that light in the distance turning
a spark of life in the distance burning
Thank your stars I said and the good Lord too
that Lighthouse Willie's looking out for you.
