Sleep In The Sea lyrics

Oh, sailor, lean back You came off the ship looking way too hip In your tight white pants and your navy blue bibs Into your arms you took the first girl you eyed She melted as Dad welled with pride Why didn't you look under the dock? I found a frothy spot there where I hoped we could talk I wore my mother of pearl and I thought we could get serious The wetter we be, the better we be The better we be, the wetter we be We sleep in the sea, it's all fine with me The wetter we be, the better we be Oh. pirate, pay up You're the only one-legged man I know To whom else would I sell these wooden toes But your parrot goes mute at the offer of substitute The wetter we be, the better we be The better we be, the wetter we be We sleep in the sea, it's all fine with me The wetter we be, the better we be Oh, coast guard, be kind You were first in your class so you thought you had passed But the truth is the wind filling up your masts Is just hot air and emergency flares So don't be surprised if your shipmates don't care
