Every Dog Has Its Day

Well, Ive drunk to drown, on every ocean Ive been
Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim
Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemens 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 theres a ship that sails tonight
Ill 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 theres a ship that sails tonight
Ill 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, McCluskey youre free

'Cause every dog has its day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if theres a ship that sails tonight
Ill 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 at my back
Goodbye Mother Theresa, I hope the kids settle down
I must head for the Chinas, pray to God, I dont drown

For every dog has its day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if theres a ship that sails tonight
Ill captain that too

'Cause every dog has its day
Like every woman, she gets her own way
And if theres a ship that sails tonight
Ill captain that too

Too, down just to be there with you
Just to be there with you
And just to be there with you
Just to be there with you
Just to be there with you
