[Verse]
Look what the cat dragged in
I recognize that grin
You're looking paler now than you did the night before
The farmer docked my pay
Cause I was late today
They said I'd better shape up before they kick me out the door

[Chorus]
But when my ship comes in
When my ship comes in
I'm gonna find some place for the both of us to stay
When my ship comes in
When my ship comes in
When I come in this place you will not have to pay

[Verse]
You're wearing last night's dress
And you still look a mess
But you'rе a big girl now and that's good enough for me
But would you think it's strange if I wеnt home to change
Because a Friday night's when I kill[?] the working week

[Chorus]
And when my ship comes in
When my ship comes in
I'm gonna find some place for the both of us to stay
When my ship comes in
When my ship comes in
If I go off the [?] I will not be thrown out
[Bridge]
Well now its closing time
But I'm still in my prime
And would you [?] me forward if I said to you
That I would feel alright
If you would stay tonight
Because we're both of age and it would not be a crime

[Chorus]
And when my ship comes in
When my ship comes in
I'm gonna find some place for the both of us to stay
When my ship comes in
When my ship comes in
When I come in this place you will not have to pay
