Song Lyrics

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
