When My Ship Comes In

There is a ship that sails the sea
For little folks like you and me
It carries all our dreams
Our little hopes and schemes
I have a ship that sailed away
It's coming back some day
We'll have that cottage you've been waiting for
We'll have those roses rambling round the door
And maybe baby playing on the floor
When my ship comes in
I'll have the most expensive evening gown
You'll have the finest dinner coat in town
The finest families won't turn us down
When my ship comes in
That fur coat I've been craving
Is practically sold
There will be no skimping and saving
All you've got to do is pray the weather's cold
We'll have a little car that's nearly new
We'll have it painted every year or two
And best of all I know that I'll have you
When my ship comes in
That fur coat I've been craving
Is practically sold
There will be no skimping and saving
All you've got to do is pray the weather's cold
We'll have a little car that's nearly new
We'll have it painted every year or two
And best of all I know that I'll have you
When my ship
And just to think that you will have me too
When my ship comes in
