| It was thirty days around the horn
|
| The captain says it’s a thirty-five more
|
| The moon looks mean and the crew ain’t staying
|
| «There's gonna be some blood» is what they’re all saying
|
| It’s a shakedown cruise (Shakedown, shakedown cruise)
|
| And I was just another fool (Shakedown, shakedown cruise)
|
| There ain’t no easy way out (Shakedown, shakedown cruise)
|
| They’re gonna shake you 'til you shout, hey, hey (Shakedown, shakedown cruise)
|
| They treat you like a dog, but you’re only human
|
| You miss your home, Lord, you miss that woman
|
| The captain laughs, he says, «You boys want some sex?
|
| You can squeeze the sails, you can lick the decks»
|
| It was a shakedown cruise (Shakedown, shakedown cruise)
|
| I guess I just was born to lose (Shakedown, shakin' out the blues)
|
| They tell you life is going cheap (Shakedown, shakedown cruise)
|
| I got myself in pretty deep (Shakedown, shakedown cruise)
|
| (Starlight lost in the night)
|
| (Drift away and it feels all right) And it feels all right
|
| (Starlight alone in the night)
|
| (Drift away and it feels all right) And it feels all right
|
| I guess it feels all right
|
| The fever’s hot, the winds are blowin' cold
|
| The captain’s crazy eye puts the fear in your soul
|
| I heard somebody cryin', «Lord, let this end
|
| You know I’ll never go to sea again»
|
| It was a shakedown cruise (Shakedown, shakedown cruise)
|
| And now we’re sendin' out the news (Shakedown, shakin' out the blues)
|
| There ain’t no victory at sea (Shakedown, shakedown cruise)
|
| Unless it’s mutiny (Shakedown, shakin' in my shoes)
|
| Now if I don’t get off alive, it’s just as well
|
| I’ll be waking up in heaven, 'cause I’ve been through hell
|
| On this shakedown cruise
|
| They call it a shakedown cruise
|
| Aw, shake me down, boy
|
| (Shakedown, shakedown cruise)
|
| (Shakedown, shakin' out the blues)
|
| It was a shakedown cruise
|
| (Shakedown, shakedown cruise)
|
| It got me shakin' in my shoes
|
| (Shakedown, shakin' in my shoes)
|
| And now I’m feelin' kinda blue
|
| (Shakedown, shakedown cruise)
|
| Whoo!
|
| (Shakedown, shakin' out the blues)
|
| Shakedown cruise
|
| (Shakedown, shakedown cruise)
|
| I said, shake me down, boys
|
| (Shakedown, shakin' in my shoes)
|
| Whoo!
|
| (Shakedown, shakedown cruise) |
