Well Ifve drunk to drown, on every ocean Ifve been
Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim
Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemenfs land
Well I drank with the Sultan, down the Suez Canal
Cause Every Dog Has Its Day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if therefs a ship that sails tonight
Ifll 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 therefs a ship that sails tonight
Ifll 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 bastards set me free
McCloskey youfre free
Cause Every Dog Has Its Day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if therefs a ship that sails tonight
Ifll captain that too, just to be there with you
Now I love the sea and she wants me back
So I leave this olf harbor, with the wind at my back
Goodbye mother Theresa, I hope the kids settle down
I must head for the Chinas, pray to God I donft drown
For Every Dog Has Its Day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if therefs a ship that sails tonight
Ifll captain that too
Cause Every Dog Has Its Day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if therefs a ship that sails tonight
Ifll captain that too, just to be there with you
