| Some of us sailors call her home
|
| She’s big and she’s strong and she’s mighty
|
| Some of us sailors call her our own
|
| Guess that’s the reason why
|
| I treat her like a lady
|
| Just treat her like a lady
|
| Now I don’t like the sound of the ground movin' 'round
|
| Or winds spinnin' out of control
|
| California earthquakes, only seem to make a' me
|
| Shake, rattle, and roll
|
| I’ve been too long on the mainland
|
| Hotels, rental cars, and phones
|
| Time to cast 'em aside, catch the very next tide
|
| And go back, where I belong
|
| Some of us sailors call her home
|
| She’s big and she’s strong and she’s mighty
|
| Some of us sailors call her our own
|
| Guess that’s the reason why
|
| I treat her like a lady
|
| Treat her like a lady
|
| Now great whales travel the rhumb lines
|
| Dodging those deadly harpoons
|
| Spawning their young, as their ancestors done
|
| In the depths of her hidden lagoons
|
| There’re times I find myself with them
|
| And times I feel as they do
|
| We’re on a similar course, it’s just a different source
|
| But I’m in danger of extinction too
|
| Some of us sailors call her home
|
| She’s big and she’s strong and she’s mighty
|
| Some of us sailors call her our own
|
| Guess that’s the reason why
|
| I treat her like a lady
|
| Treat her like a lady
|
| Treat her like a lady
|
| Treat her like a lady
|
| And miss her when I’m gone
|
| (Lady, lady) treat her like a lady
|
| (Lady, lady) treat her like a lady
|
| (Lady, lady) got to treat her like a lady
|
| (Lady, lady) treat her like a lady
|
| Lady, lady
|
| Lady, lady
|
| Lady, lady |
