Chorus:
C
Some of us sailors call her home
Sheʼs big and sheʼs strong and sheʼs mighty
FDm7
Some of us sailors call her our own
GG7
Guess thatʼs the reason why
CAm
I treat her like a lady
FDm7
Just treat her like a la -- dy
C
Now I donʼt like the sound of the ground movinʼ ʼround
F
Or winds spinninʼ out of control
GG7
California earthquakes, only seem to make aʼ me
C
Shake, rattle, and roll
Iʼve been too long on the mainland
Hotels, rental cars, and phones
Time to cast ʼem aside, catch the very next tide
And go back, where I belong
Chorus:
Some of us sailors call her home
Sheʼs big and sheʼs strong and sheʼs mighty
Some of us sailors call her our own
Guess thatʼs the reason why
I treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Now great whales travel the rhumb lines
Dodging those deadly harpoons
Spawning their young, as their ancestors done
In the depths of her hidden lagoons
Thereʼre times I find myself with them
And times I feel as they do
Weʼre on a similar course, itʼs just a different source
But Iʼm in danger of extinction too
Chorus:
Some of us sailors call her home
Sheʼs big and sheʼs strong and sheʼs mighty
Some of us sailors call her our own
Guess thatʼs the reason why
I treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
And miss her when Iʼm gone
(Lady, lady) treat her like a lady
(Lady, lady) treat her like a lady
(Lady, lady) got to treat her like a lady
(Lady, lady) treat her like a lady
Lady, lady
Lady, lady
Lady, lady
