The Good Ship

Sleepyhead

I got two nights away with you

Some question said "can I sit down and pour you a drink?"

Are you on the boat or off the boat?

'Cause if you wanna rock the boat, it's not gonna sink



Last call, New Orleans

I could never even notice you

Seamless tights and Levi jeans

This establishment, I frequent it myself



Where the service is special for the boys in blue

Where the men are men, and the women are too

You're secret's safe with me

Now son, believe me



I got two nights away with you

Some question answered with a hit or a miss

Are you on the boat or off the boat?

And if you wanna rock the boat, then give me a kiss



My cabin is the best onboard

I bet you could never notice this one's got a lock on the door

I'd be glad to show you around



Don't be nervous, don't be shy

Doesn't mean you're not tough, sure, you're a tough guy

You're secret, sir, you're good enough

Believe me



Whatever was I thinkin' when I married Christine?

She just wasn't my type, if you know what I mean

She couldn't match up, she couldn't stand tall

I guess it's time for me to make a ship-to-shore call



From a man I'd never met and knew I never thought I'd need

Are the armed beacons with me, I'm in the back seat

I never knew I was lonely, but I guess I got to know me

I was out to sea



Christine, Christine

I must sound rough, I must sound mean

When my tour duty's over, and my feet are on the ground

I'm gonna spend a month or two on this town
