rate me<br>
1st Verse<br>
DUKE:<br>
We stand watching the horizon,<br>
Casting anxious eager eyes on<br>
All the little ships as they go passing by.<br>
<br>
POTTER:<br>
How we're hoping, how we're yearning,<br>
For a safe and sound returning.<br>
Are we soon to see our ship against the sky?<br>
<br>
SHORTY:<br>
Anyone who's ever waited on a pier<br>
Will appreciate our feeling here.<br>
<br>
ALL:<br>
What a tender welcome we will give our friends<br>
As their journey ends.<br>
<br>
1st Refrain<br>
<br>
When our ship comes sailing in-<br>
We will shout our joy<br>
With a "Ship ahoy!"<br>
Then our glad days will begin<br>
When we start unloading the gin.<br>
<br>
DUKE:<br>
Our guilty conscience we will try to smother;<br>
<br>
SHORTY:<br>
We'll hail each Prohibitionist a brocher,<br>
<br>
POTTER:<br>
And sell a dozen cases to his mother!<br>
<br>
ALL:<br>
When our ship comes sailing in -<br>
Full of Haig and Haig and gin!<br>
<br>
2nd Verse<br>
<br>
DUKE:<br>
Just imagine our position,<br>
Think of all the competition<br>
That we've got along the whole Atlancic shore.<br>
<br>
SHORTY:<br>
From Southhampton to Miami,<br>
Coast patrols of Uncle Sammy<br>
On our business are declaring open war.<br>
<br>
POTTER:<br>
You would think that what we're doing was a crime -<br>
Helping you to have a decent time.<br>
Congressmen and Senators kick up a fuss -<br>
Then they buy from us!<br>
<br>
2nd refrain<br>
<br>
When our ship comes sailing in -<br>
<br>
DUKE:<br>
When our ship of dreams<br>
Through the harbor steams,<br>
<br>
ALL:<br>
Then our glad days will begin<br>
<br>
POTTER:<br>
Mr. Volstead, pardon our sin.<br>
<br>
DUKE:<br>
There's champagne in our cargo that will please ya!<br>
<br>
POTTER:<br>
Just give your girl a case and she will squeeze ya!<br>
<br>
SHORTY:<br>
(She needn't know we mixed it wich magnesia!)<br>
<br>
ALL:<br>
When our ship comes sailing in -<br>
Full of Haig and Haig and gin!<br>
<br>
3rd Refrain<br>
<br>
When our ship comes sailing in -<br>
<br>
DUKE:<br>
Ev'ry worry gone -<br>
How we'll carry on!<br>
<br>
ALL<br>
Boy! It's great when dreams come true<br>
<br>
DUKE:<br>
And you see your ship on the blue.<br>
But, oh, the risk! It's paining us to tell of it! <br>
<br>
SHORTY:<br>
The money that we get is not all vel-e-vet;<br>
<br>
POTTER:<br>
The cops take all our profits - that's the hell of it.<br>
<br>
ALL:<br>
When our ship comes sailing in -<br>
Full of Haig and Haig and gin!<br>
<br>
