(Tom Paxton)
Oh, don't you miss the boat, my friends
Just let your little light shine
They'll always cash your note, my friends
On the good ship I've Got Mine
She's coming down from New York town
Oh look at her design
We'll stand and watch our Mayor Koch
Steer the good ship I've Got Mine
On the good ship I've Got Mine, my friends
You always get your due
With a nod and a wink you're in the pink
With your friends so close to you-know-who
On the good ship I've Got Mine, my friends
Where money spins the wheels
You're in the black, the inside track
You're in on all the deals
The crew's all in the brig, of course
And there they all repine
They tried to steal the steering wheel
On the good ship I've Got Mine
The Mayor stands and waves his hands
To folks across the brine
His only tune is, How'm I doin'
On the good ship I've Got Mine
She sails right down to City Hall
Right up to the treasury sign
Just dig right in, it ain't no sin
On the good ship I've Got Mine
Just spare some strokes for the common folks
You meet along the line
Be glad they're there, they paid your fare
On the good ship I've Got Mine
On the good ship I've Got Mine ...
Just spare some strokes for the common folks
You meet along the line
Be glad they're there, they paid your fare
On the good ship I've Got Mine
