Nautical wheelers who call themselves sailors
Play fiddle tunes under the stars
Petticoats rustle, working shoes scuffle
Shuffle on down to the bars

Where the jukebox is blastin' and the liquor is flowing
An occasional bottle of wine
That's 'cause everyone here is just more than contented
To be living and dying in three-quarter time

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, it'll follow where the right foot has traveled
Down to the sidewalks unglued
And into the streets of my city so neat
Where nobody cares what you do

And Sonja's just grinnin' and Phil is ecstatic
And Mason has jumped in the sea
While I'm hanging on to a line from my sailboat
Oh, nautical wheelers save me

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 the sleep that's escaped us
And everyone's off to their bed
There'll be huggin' and squeezin', a little pleasin' and teasin'
And rubbin' of each others' head

So won't you dream on compadres, seems nothing affects you
Nothing, no reason nor rhyme
That's 'cause everyone here is just more than contented
To be living and dying in three-quarter time

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"

I want so badly to go
Yes, I want so badly to go
