Intro

   
    

Verse

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

Verse

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

Verse

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
