Jimmy Buffett - A Sailor's Christmas lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - A Sailor's Christmas lyrics]
Sail on the horizons
Got a landfall rendezvous
The captain steers a well-known course
He steers straight and true
As he trims the sheets
He sings a song he learned on boats and bars
The sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbour 'neath the stars
He's traveled through the doldrums
Typhoons and hurricanes
He's logged a million soggy miles
With water on his brain
But Christmas is the season better
Suited for dry land he'll tell some lies
Meet some spies and dance
Barefoot in the sand
The sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbor on the hook
Callee, callay, no work today
Let's shell the ol' log book
The waterfront is reveling
The season has begun
The sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbor having fun
There's a party down at
Le Selecte, all music, rum and cheers
Faces in the shadows, God
I haven't seen for years
The mast and shroud are filled with lights
'neath the waning of the moon
There's an air of celebration in
The realm of King Neptune
The sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbor on the hook
Callee, callay, no work today
Let's shell the ol' log book
The waterfront is reveling
The season has begun
The sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbor having fun
Jesus was a fisherman who walked upon the sea
The North Pole is the
Ocean's remote frozen balcony
The continents keep drifting but the
Children sing and play
'Cause nothing really matters, after all
It's Christmas day
The sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbor on the hook
Callee, callay, no work today
He read it in a book
The waterfront is reveling
The season has begun
A sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbor having fun
A sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbor having fun havin' fun
Havin' fun havin' fun
Got a landfall rendezvous
The captain steers a well-known course
He steers straight and true
As he trims the sheets
He sings a song he learned on boats and bars
The sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbour 'neath the stars
He's traveled through the doldrums
Typhoons and hurricanes
He's logged a million soggy miles
With water on his brain
But Christmas is the season better
Suited for dry land he'll tell some lies
Meet some spies and dance
Barefoot in the sand
The sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbor on the hook
Callee, callay, no work today
Let's shell the ol' log book
The waterfront is reveling
The season has begun
The sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbor having fun
There's a party down at
Le Selecte, all music, rum and cheers
Faces in the shadows, God
I haven't seen for years
The mast and shroud are filled with lights
'neath the waning of the moon
There's an air of celebration in
The realm of King Neptune
The sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbor on the hook
Callee, callay, no work today
Let's shell the ol' log book
The waterfront is reveling
The season has begun
The sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbor having fun
Jesus was a fisherman who walked upon the sea

The sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbor on the hook

The waterfront is reveling
The season has begun
A sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbor having fun
A sailor spends his Christmas in
A harbor having fun havin' fun
Havin' fun havin' fun
