Shake Em On Down |
| It was thirty days around the horn |
| The captain says it’s thirty-five more |
| The moon looks mean the crew ain’t staying |
| There’s gonna be some blood |
| Is what they’re all saying |
| It’s a shakedown cruise |
| And I was just another tool |
| There ain’t no easy way out |
| They’re gonna shake you 'til you shout |
| 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 |
| I guess I just was born to lose |
| They tell you life is going cheap |
| I got myself in pretty deep |
| Star light lost in the night |
| Drift away and it feels all right |
| Star light alone in the night |
| Drift away 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 |
| And now we’re sendin' out the news |
| There ain’t no victory at sea unless it’s mutiny |
| 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 |
| Shakedown, shakedown cruise |
| Shakedown, shake it up and move |
| Shakedown, shakin' in my shoes |
