Buffett, Jimmy - Nautical Wheelers Lyrics
Nautical Wheelers who call themselves sailors
Play fiddle tunes under the stars.
Petticoats rustle, working shoes scuffle,
Hustle on down to the bars.
and the liquor is flowing
an occasional bottle of wine.
That's cause everyone here is just more than
contented to be living and dying 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,
I want so badly to go.
Well the left foot it'll follow where the
Right foot has traveled down to the
Sidewalks unglued.
And into the street of my city so neat,
Where nobody cares what you do.
And Sonna's just grinnin'
And Phil is ecstatic and
Mason has jumped in the sea.
While I'm hangin' on to a line
from my sailboat oh,
Nautical Wheelers save me.
[Chorus]
Well the sunrise'll bring on the
sleep that's escaped us and
everyone's off to their bed.
There'll be huggin' and squeezin',
a little pleasin' and teasin'
and rubbin' of each others' head.
So won't you dream on comrades;
seems nothing affects you,
nothing, no reason nor rhyme.
That's cause everyone here is just more than
contented to be living and dying in three quarter time.

Buffett, Jimmy Nautical Wheelers Comments
Ready to pack it up and move to the Caribbean. Become a Parrot head.
Good God, this sends chills down my spine EVERY time I pull it out of the back of this weary mind.
Fortunate to grow up in South Florida. Way back when 2 kids could take off from Dinner Key at ages 10 and 13 and spend the weekend at Elliot Key State Park. Amazing huh?? 1960. This was the Buffet life.
Hope you and mom are sailing eternity together. Miss you Dad...
Living & dying in 3/4 time.

Great song
one of those songs that take me home
Love this song. Always have
Classic Jimmy Buffet; this song is eternal for all 'saltwater travellers' :)
It's a life, not a song.
Living where living is more important than working, where time is measured in time well spent and not numbers on a time card, a place where your heart beats to the rythmn of the waves washing up the beach of paradise.....
steven hewitt Steven, I know this comment is over 4 years young.. but I just want to let you know why this speaks to me. My girlfriend and I live in Maryland and are young, 21-22.. we are about to make a big move to the Florida Keys.. no stability, no long term goals, nothing my friend. But we want to do our own thing.. take a chance in life, which most people don’t have the sack to anti up and do so.. but we are willing to take a shot, even if we fall on our faces. Thank you for your words of wisdom my friend!
