By: jimmy buffett 1974 Nautical wheelers who call themselves sailors Play fiddle tunes under the stars Petticoats rustle, workin' shoes scuffle Shuffle on down to the bar Where the jukebox is blastin' and the liquor is flowin' An occasional bottle of wine That's 'cause everyone here is just more than contented To be livin' and dyin' in three-quarter time Chorus: And it's dance with me, dance with me, nautical wheelers Take me to stars that you know Come on and dance with me, dance with me, nautical wheelers I want so badly to go Well, the left foot'll follow Where the right foot has travelled Down to the sidewalks unglued Into the streets of my city so neat Where nobody cares what you do Sonia's just grinnin' and phil is ecstatic Mason has jumped in the sea And i'm hangin' on to a line from my sailboat
All nautical wheelers save me Chorus: And it's dance with me, dance with me, nautical wheelers Take me to stars that you know Come on and dance with me, dance with me, nautical wheelers I want so badly to go Well the sunrise'll bring on Sleep that's escaped us Everyone's off to their bed There'll be huggin', squeezin' Little pleazin' and teasin' And rubbin' of each other's heads So won't you dream on compadres, seems nothing escapes you Nothin', no reason, no rhyme That's 'cause everyone here is just more than contented To be livin' and dyin' in three-quarter time Chorus: And it's dance with me, dance with me, nautical wheelers Take me to stars that you know Come on and dance with me, dance with me, nautical wheelers I want so badly to go Coda: I want so badly to go Yes, i want so badly to go
