Golden Brown, texture like sun
 Lays me down, with my mind she runs
Throughout the night, no need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown

 Every time, just like the last
 On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands, takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown

 Golden Brown, finer temptress
 Through the ages she's heading west
From far away, stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown

 Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Nana-na-na Nana-na-na

Ne - ver, never a, never a frown
with golden brown
Ne - ver, never a, never a frown
with golden brown
Ne - ver, never a, never a frown
with golden brown
Ne - ver, never a, never a frown
with golden brown (Fade out)
