Nautical Wheelers
Written by - Jimmy Buffett

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 

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 traveled 
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 

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 

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
