When My Ship Comes In

I'll buy out every ice cream factory

So all the kids can come and get it 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

But they'll be used as picture shows at night

When my ship comes in

I'll have suits made to measure

In fact I'll buy a store

And can you imagine the pleasure

Wearing shoes that no one ever wore before

I'll phone to each department store and say

"Call up your Santa Claus and raise his pay

And tell him we'll have Christmas every day

When my ship comes in"
