Middle of the ocean in a teak canoe
Man overboard, no, make that two
Nothing to drink but French champagne
And tin can chowder for 2 cents plain
Me and Moth Benning and Dakota Sue
Woke up one morning with nothing to do
We'd done everything's ever been done
Time to start over beginning at one
Man overboard
Swim if you can
Float if you don't
Since the world began
Me and Moth Benning and Dakota Sue
She looks like me and I look like you
You look like us when shove comes to push
Upside down, dragged through a bush
Some of my feelings about the past
Depend on the shadows that they still cast
I still can't read my watch in the dark
But an educated guess ain't far from the mark
Man overboard
Swim if you can
Float if you don't
Since the world began
Dakota Sue, Moth Benning and me
Man overboard, no, make that three
From the golden hills of Mandu-Kat
To the pits of Texas in one hour flat
Checking my shoes for chewing gum
Got no flavor but it helps me some
Like all things good picked up on the street
Refined in silence with a strong back-beat
Man overboard
Swim if you can
Float if you don't
Since the world began
Of all the lessons I ever learned
How to stand in the fire and not get burned
Listen to the one with the least to say
As my father said before he passed away
Middle of the ocean in a teak canoe
Man overboard, no, make that two
Nothing to drink but French champagne
And tin can chowder for 2 cents plain
