Well I've drunk to drown, on every ocean I've been
Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim
Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen's land

Well I drank with the Sultan, down the Suez C!@#^

Cause Every Dog Has Its Day

Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there's a ship that sails tonight
I'll captain that too, just to be there with you


Well there was old Jerry Rooney, who was mad as a mule
Spillblood Maloney had a head like one too

That night on the bridge, with my shovel in hand
Well he threatened to kill me, for sure he picked the wrong man


Cause Every Dog Has Its Day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there's a ship that sails tonight

I'll captain that too, just to be there with you

Well there was mutiny in Lagos, aboard the mean ship Skondi

Ten or twelve days in prison, till the !@$(s set me free
McCloskey you're free


Cause Every Dog Has Its Day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there's a ship that sails tonight

I'll captain that too, just to be there with you

Now I love the sea and she wants me back

So I leave this ol' harbor, with the wind of Bridgette's Crack
Goodbye mother Theresa, I hope the kids settle down
I must head for the Chinas, pray to God I don't drown


For Every Dog Has Its Day
Like every woman, she gets her own way

And if there's a ship that sails tonight
I'll captain that too


Cause Every Dog Has Its Day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if there's a ship that sails tonight

I'll captain that too, just to be there with you
