Well I've drunk to drown, on every ocean I've been  Lake Tanganyika, where the crocodiles swim  Halifax, Nova Scotia to Van Diemen's 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 there's a ship that sails tonight  I'll 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 there's a ship that sails tonight  I'll 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  McCloskey you're free    Cause Every Dog Has Its Day  Like every woman, she gets her own way  And if there's a ship that sails tonight  I'll 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 of Bridgette's Crack  Goodbye mother Theresa, I hope the kids settle down  I must head for the Chinas, pray to God I don't drown    For Every Dog Has Its Day  Like every woman, she gets her own way  And if there's a ship that sails tonight  I'll captain that too    Cause Every Dog Has Its Day  Like every woman, she gets her own way  And if there's a ship that sails tonight  I'll captain that too, just to be there with you
