Men will be men and they'll call me the governor
|
I'll walk through the bar and I'll buy the next round
|
Because this is my ship and I say it's my destiny
|
And we'll all go up and go down, we go down, go down
|
|
Through the town and back up through the avenues
|
And into the places where people don't stay
|
Go visit the king and then leave through the window
|
Go hang with the gang and get lost in the fray
|
|
Andy's a saint or a savage, I forget
|
Depends on the day and if he's eaten yet
|
He's something to see when he's first out of bed
|
Not that I'd know, I've just heard it said
|
|
Said that men will be men and they'll call me the governor
|
I'll walk through the bar and I'll buy the next round
|
Because this is my ship and I say it's my destiny
|
And we'll all go up and go down, we go down, go down
|
|
Through the town and back up through the avenues
|
And into the places where people don't stay
|
Go visit the king and then leave through the window
|
Go hang with the gang and get lost in the fray
|
|
Spider's the guy to handle the gun
|
He'd show me how, but I don't want one
|
He's oh-so polite for a second-story man
|
And he's changed his spots as much as anyone can
|
|
We know men will be men and they'll call me the governor
|
I'll walk through the bar and I'll buy the next round
|
Because this my ship and I say it's my destiny
|
And we'll all go up and go down, we go down, go down
|
|
Through the town and back up through the avenues
|
And into the places where people don't stay
|
Go visit the king and then leave through the window
|
Go hang with the gang and get lost in the fray
|
|
Come and sit with the whores and admire the view
|
Drink down these beers, I think you've had a few
|
Yes and don't look at me, I'm not selling today
|
Over the crowd hear the bartender say
|
|
Say that men will be men and they'll call me the governor
|
I'll walk through the bar and I'll buy the next round
|
Because this is my ship and I say it's my destiny
|
And we'll all go up and go down, we go down, go down
|
|
Through the town and back up through the avenues
|
And into the places where people don't stay
|
Go visit the king and then leave through the window
|
Go hang with the gang and get lost in the fray
|
|
Men will be men and they'll call me the governor
|
I'll walk through the bar and I'll buy the next round
|
Because this is my ship and I say it's my destiny
|
And we'll all go up and go down, we go down, go down...
