ship rolls in

shake it

don't break it

baby

you gotta let you hair hang down

i eat my dinner right out of a garbage can

i got my clothes from the lost and found

you gotta roll with the punches

spin like a top

i don't have much but i've got a lot of personality

and that's all that counts

when my ship rolls in

i'll be ready

oh yeah

and i'll be strutting my stuff through the high class part of town

when my ship rolls in

i'll be ready

dazed and kinda lazy

i was bailing out my boat with one hand

moving closer and closer to the green silver coast

i wasn't happy 'til my feet hit the sand

you gotta eat right through the bone

gotta chip away the stone

i got rocks in my head and my pants

you're a land lover baby

and i'm your supply and demand

when my ship rolls in

i'll be ready

oh yeah

and i'll be strutting my stuff through the high class part of town

when my ship rolls in

i'll be ready

shaking it

driving real fast in my limousine

i got two girls in the back

it's the american dream

there's so much money but so little time

it seems like yesterday i didn't have a dime

got me a mansion and a swimming pool

living this luxury is totally cool

it's a long way from the bottom and a short drop from the top

now that my ship's come in i ain't gonna stop
