I'm On A Boat

The Lonely Island · Incredibad [2009]

[Intro (T-Pain)]

(Shortayyyy) Aww shit

Get your towels ready it's about to go down (shorty, yeah)

Everybody in the place hit the fuckin deck (shorty, yeah)

But stay on your motherfuckin toes

We runnin this, let's go



[Chorus (T-Pain)]

I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat)

I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat)

Everybody look at me cause I'm sailin on a boat (sailin on a boat)

I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat)

I'm on a boat

Take a good hard look at the motherfuckin boat (boat, yeah)



[The Lonely Island (T-Pain)]

I'm on a boat motherfucker take a look at me

Straight flowin on a boat on the deep blue sea

Bustin five knots, wind whippin out my coat

You can't stop me motherfucker cause I'm on a boat



Take a picture, trick (trick) I'm on a boat, bitch (bitch)

We drinking Santana champ, cause it's so crisp (crisp)

I got my swim trunks, and my flippie-floppies

I'm flippin burgers, you at Kinko's straight flippin copies



I'm ridin on a dolphin, doin flips and shit

The dolphin's splashin, gettin e'rybody all wet

But this ain't Seaworld, this is real as it gets

I'm on a boat motherfucker, don't you ever forget



I'm on a boat and, it's goin fast and

I got a nautical themed pashmina afghan

I'm the king of the world, on a boat like Leo

If you're on the shore, then you're sho' not me-oh

{Get the fuck up, this boat is REAL!!!}



Fuck land, I'm on a boat, motherfucker (motherfucker)

Fuck trees, I climb buoys, motherfucker (motherfucker)

I'm on the deck with my boys, motherfucker (yeah)

This boat engine make noise, motherfucker



Hey ma, if you could see me now (see me now)

Arms spread wide on the starboard bow (starboard bow)

Gonna fly this boat to the moon somehow (moon somehow)

Like Kevin Garnett, anything is possible



[T-Pain]

Yeah, never thought I'd be on a boat

It's a big blue watery road (yeah)

Poseidon~!! Look at me, oh (all hands on deck)

Never thought I'd see the day

When a big boat comin my way

Believe me when I say, I fucked a mermaid



[Chorus]



[T-Pain]

Whoahhh

Sha-sha-shorty, shorty

Yeah yeah yeahhh

I'm On A Boat

The Lonely Island's "I'm On A Boat" serves as a quintessential example of their early web-era comedy music, blending upbeat pop-rock instrumentation with absurdist humor. Released on the 2009 album Incredibad, the track features the group's signature trio dynamic, delivering a manic energy that defined their transition from sketch comedy to musical performance. The song exemplifies their ability to craft catchy, radio-friendly melodies while subverting expectations through nonsensical lyrics and exaggerated character voices. As a staple of their discography, it remains a cultural touchstone for internet comedy and early 2010s pop culture, showcasing their unique ability to merge musical talent with narrative absurdity in a way that resonated globally.
