Salt and Pepper - Harry Chapin
[Verse 1]
The old sailor sat at the window seat
So he could watch as the ships went by
And he drank from a glass that was always filled
For the rest of us would buy
And he would tell us tales about the ships that sailed
When he was young and strong
And when he thought we'd heard enough of his words
He'd break into this song
Dee dee dee, dah dah dah, dah dah dee dee dee dah
Dah dah dee dee dee dee duh

[Verse 2]
Each and every day he'd spend his way
Up to the stroke of four
Then a woman as rough as a dockside tough
Came bursting through the door
She'd stalk up to that sailor
And he'd shrink to the size of a pin
She'd curse and shout and as she hauled him out
He'd say with a sheepish grin

[Chorus]
Oh yes, I've sailed the southern oceans
And the stormy northern sea
But now that me sailing's over, me boys
It's harbor time for me
I know you call us Salt and Pepper
For an old salt I may be
But though she may be pepper to you, me boys
She's sweet as sugar to me
Dee dee dee, dah dah dah, dah dah dee dee dee dah
Dah dah dee dee dee dee duh
