Sailor's Night On The Town

(album: Sailor - 1974)

Hey there! You better get up now, and clean up your place
Can't you see there are ships in the harbour?
Put on your best face, and turn on your lights
And spray some perfume in your parlour
But don't lose your head, just keep to your trade
Treat him with love, but only after he's paid
For living is dear, and so much shorter each year
So make the most of it while you're still young

It's the sailors' night on the town, girl
By now you should know what to do
It's the sailors' night on the town, girl
Can't you hear them calling for you?
So, fill them with lust and sparkling champagne
Give them a good time so they will come back again
It's the sailors' night on the town, girl
So make the most of it while you're still young

Sailors and miners, or just men about town
They need you like whisky and brandy
And though they may be as proud as the rooster at dawn
In your bed, they're like children with candy
So, don't be afraid, just do what you can
And some day, who knows, you might even find your own man
So, don't let your dreams gather dust from today
Just make the most of it while you're still young

It's the sailors' night on the town, girl
By now you should know what to do
It's the sailors' night on the town, girl
Can't you hear them calling for you?
So, fill them with lust and sparkling champagne
Give them a good time so they will come back again
It's the sailors' night on the town, girl
So make the most of it while you're still young
