When Our Ship Comes Sailing In Lyrics by Robert Westenberg, Patrick Cassidy, Alan Arkin
Oh, Kay!
0
[DUKE] We stand watching the horizon Casting anxious eager eyes on All the little ships as they go passing by [LARRY] How we're hoping, how we're yearning For a safe and sound returning Are we soon to see our ship against the sky? [SHORTY] Anyone who's ever waited on a pier Will appreciate our feeling here [DUKE, LARRY & SHORTY] What a tender welcome we will give our friends As their journey ends When our ship comes sailing in We will shout our joy With a "Ship ahoy!" Then our glad days will bеgin When we start unloading the gin [DUKE] Our guilty consciеnce we will try to smother [SHORTY] We'll hail each Prohibitionist a brother [LARRY] And sell a dozen cases to his mother [DUKE, LARRY & SHORTY] When our ship comes sailing in Full of Haig and Haig and gin [DUKE] Just imagine our position Think of all the competition That we've got along the whole Atlantic shore [SHORTY] From Southampton to Miami Coast patrols of Uncle Sammy On our business are declaring open war [LARRY] You would think that what we're doing was a crime Helping you to have a decent time [DUKE, LARRY & SHORTY] Congressmen and senators kick up a fuss Then they buy from us! When our ship comes sailing in [DUKE] When our ship of dreams Through the harbor steams [DUKE, LARRY & SHORTY] Then our glad days will begin [LARRY] Mr. Volstead, pardon our sin [DUKE] There's Champagne in our cargo that will please ya [LARRY] Just give your girl a case and she will squeeze ya [SHORTY] She needn't know we mixed it with magnesia [DUKE, LARRY & SHORTY] When our ship comes sailing in Full of Haig and Haig and gin [DUKE & LARRY] When our ship comes sailing in (Oh, when our ship comes sailing in) [SHORTY] There she goes [DUKE] Every worry gone How we'll carry on [LARRY] Hallelujah! [DUKE, LARRY & SHORTY] Boy, it's great when dreams come true And you see your ship on the blue [LARRY] I do [SHORTY] We do [DUKE] But, oh, the risk, it's paining us to tell of it [SHORTY] The money that we get is not all vel-e-vit [LARRY] The cops take all our profits, that's the hell of it [DUKE, LARRY & SHORTY] When our ship comes sailing in Full of Haig and Haig and gin
