Well I've drunk to drown, on every ocean I've beenÃÂ
Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swimÃÂ
Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen's landÃÂ
Well I drank with the Sultan, down the Suez Canal
Cause Every Dog Has Its DayÃÂ
Like every woman, she gets her own wayÃÂ
And if there's a ship that sails tonightÃÂ
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you
Well there was old Jerry Rooney, who was mad as a muleÃÂ
Spillblood Maloney had a head like one tooÃÂ
That night on the bridge, with my shovel in handÃÂ
Well he threatened to kill me, for sure he picked the wrong man
Cause Every Dog Has Its DayÃÂ
Like every woman, she gets her own wayÃÂ
And if there's a ship that sails tonightÃÂ
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you
Well there was mutiny in Lagos, aboard the mean ship SkondiÃÂ
Ten or twelve days in prison, till the bastards set me freeÃÂ
McCloskey you're free
Cause Every Dog Has Its DayÃÂ
Like every woman, she gets her own wayÃÂ
And if there's a ship that sails tonightÃÂ
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you
Now I love the sea and she wants me backÃÂ
So I leave this ol' harbor, with the wind at my backÃÂ
Goodbye mother Theresa, I hope the kids settle downÃÂ
I must head for the Chinas, pray to God I don't drown
For Every Dog Has Its DayÃÂ
Like every woman, she gets her own wayÃÂ
And if there's a ship that sails tonightÃÂ
I'll captain that too
Cause Every Dog Has Its DayÃÂ
Like every woman, she gets her own wayÃÂ
And if there's a ship that sails tonightÃÂ
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you
