When My Ship Comes In (Digitally Remastered)

You know I hate to hear you sigh

But you get blue and so do I

Because our ship of dreams

Is lost at sea, it seems

But though it's very far away

It will return some day

We'll have that cottage you've been wishing for

We'll have those roses rambling 'round the door

And maybe baby playing on the floor

When my ship comes in

You'll have the most expensive evening gown

I'll have the finest dinner coat in town

The finest families won't turn us down

When my ship comes in

That fur coat you'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

I'll buy out every ice cream factory

So all the kids can come and get in free

And I'll throw all the spinach in the sea

When my ship comes in

I'll buy up all the public schools in sight

And all day long I'll have them closed up tight

For they'll be used as picture shows at night

When my ship comes in

I'll buy Barnum and Bailey

And move 'em right next door

They'll give two performances daily

For the kids who never saw a show before

In golden chairs we'll sip our tea for two

I'll have Paul Whiteman there to play for you

I'll have Bing Crosby singing boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

When my ship comes in
