Dearest friends
Dear gentlemen
Listen to my song
Life down here's been hard for you
Life has made you strong
Let me lift the mood
With my attitude

Hey, fellas!
The time is right
Get ready
Tonight's the night
Boys, what you're hopin' for will come true
Let me be good to you!

You tough guys
You're feelin' all alone
You rough guys
The best o' you sailors and bums
All o' my chums

So dream on
And drink your beer
Get cozy
Your baby's here!
You won't be misunderstood
Let me be good to you!
Hey, fellas
I'll take off all my blues!
Hey, fellas
There's nothin' I won't do
Just for you

Hey, fellas
The time is right
Get ready
Tonight's the night
Boys, what you're hopin' for will come true
Let me be good to you!

You tough guys
You're feelin' all alone
You rough guys
The best o' you sailors and bums
All o' my chums

So dream on
And drink your beer
Get cozy
Your baby's here
You won't be misunderstood
Let me be good to you
Hey, fellas
I'll take off all my blues
Hey, fellas
There's nothin' I won't do
Just for you

[Instrumental]

So dream on
And drink your beer
Get cozy
Your baby's here
Hey boys, I'm talkin' to you!

Your baby's gonna come through
Let me be good to you!
