1st Verse DUKE: We stand watching the horizon, Casting anxious eager eyes on All the little ships as they go passing by. POTTER: How we're hoping, how we're yearning, For a safe and sound returning. Are we soon to see our ship against the sky? SHORTY: Anyone who's ever waited on a pier Will appreciate our feeling here. ALL: What a tender welcome we will give our friends As their journey ends. 1st Refrain When our ship comes sailing in- We will shout our joy With a "Ship ahoy!" Then our glad days will begin When we start unloading the gin. DUKE: Our guilty conscience we will try to smother; SHORTY: We'll hail each Prohibitionist a brocher, POTTER: And sell a dozen cases to his mother! ALL: When our ship comes sailing in - Full of Haig and Haig and gin! 2nd Verse DUKE: Just imagine our position, Think of all the competition That we've got along the whole Atlancic shore. SHORTY: From Southhampton to Miami, Coast patrols of Uncle Sammy On our business are declaring open war. POTTER: You would think that what we're doing was a crime - Helping you to have a decent time. Congressmen and Senators kick up a fuss - Then they buy from us! 2nd refrain When our ship comes sailing in - DUKE: When our ship of dreams Through the harbor steams, ALL: Then our glad days will begin POTTER: Mr. Volstead, pardon our sin. DUKE: There's champagne in our cargo that will please ya! POTTER: Just give your girl a case and she will squeeze ya! SHORTY: (She needn't know we mixed it wich magnesia!) ALL: When our ship comes sailing in - Full of Haig and Haig and gin! 3rd Refrain When our ship comes sailing in - DUKE: Ev'ry worry gone - How we'll carry on! ALL Boy! It's great when dreams come true DUKE: And you see your ship on the blue. But, oh, the risk! It's paining us to tell of it! SHORTY: The money that we get is not all vel-e-vet; POTTER: The cops take all our profits - that's the hell of it. ALL: When our ship comes sailing in - Full of Haig and Haig and gin!
