[Verse]
1. It was thirty days around the horn The captain says it's thirty-five more
2. They treat you like a dog But you're only human You miss your home Lord, You miss that woman
3. The fever's hot, the winds are blowin' cold The captain's crazy eye puts the fear in your soul

1. The moon looks mean the crew ain't staying There's gonna be some blood Is what they're all saying
2. The captain laughs he says, "You boys want some sex?"You can squeeze the sails, You can lick the decks
3. I heard somebody cryin' "Lord let this end You know I'll never go to sea again"

[Chorus]
1. It's a shakedown cruise And I was just another tool
2. It was a shakedown cruise I guess I just was born to lose
3. It was a shakedown cruise And now we're sendin' out the news

1. There ain't no easy way out They're gonna shake you 'til you shout
2. They tell you life is going cheap I got myself in pretty deep
3. There ain't no victory at sea unless it's mutiny

Star light lost in the night Drift away and it feels all right
Star light alone in the night Drift away and it feels all right
I guess it feels all right

[Outro]
Now if I don't get off alive It's just as well I'll be waking up in heaven
'Cause I've been through hell on this shakedown cruise They call it a shakedown cruise
Shakedown, shakedown cruise Shakedown, shake it up and move Shakedown, shakin' in my shoes
