Screw your eyes and I’ll screw mine
Put forever, baby, now on ice
Remove your trunks in the captain’s bunk
Oh sailor man, budge over man

Back again the rebel reducer
One thing is certain, I’m no sailor
Do your hair, and I’ll do mine
Shine your shoes and iron your stripes

But take me with you, wherever you go
Oh take me with you

He’s got a girl in every port and he wants you for himself
He’s got a girl in every port
From here to Singapore
He’s got a heartbeat, a headache
A headful of wet dreams
I know it isn’t so, won’t you say it isn’t so…

Sailor man won’t you give me your hand

Dry your eyes and I’ll dry mine
Put forever, baby, now on ice
Lock your seaman brother in the hold,
Oh sailor man, budge over man

Take me with you, wherever you go, oh take me with you…

The captain wants me to wipe his brass
when there are mountains and caverns measureless
My looks like my youth,
Had been somewhat under-used
But I know the place where truth becomes abuse

-Shakedown-
You can set your watch by him
-Shakedown-
Up and at ‘em boys
-Shakedown-
All the while our paradise was slipping
-Shakedown-
What we thought we had
-Shakedown-
Was already gone
-Shakedown-
In came the seas and our beach was sunk
