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,
Of 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.
