I’m Just Trying To Be To Be A Father

And Send My Child Support With Love

          D
I’ve Got Kids In 14 Countries

At Least The Ones That I Know Of

         C
Up and at’um in the morning,

With a bitch, a moan and gripe,

        D
Can’t afford to be late to work again,

Probably lose another stripe.

        G
I don’t do it for the money,

Oh that’s subsistence pay.

             D
But I hate giving to the galley,

But they just take it anyway.

           C
It is the life that I have chosen,

To be the few, the proud, the brave.

           D
Now I’m standing here getting my ass chewed,

Cause for once I forgot to shave.

         G
I can’t call in drunk on Monday,

When I downed so much I puked.

         D
I just sleep through my duty days,

And sometimes on watch too.

         C
You can bet that I’ll be ready,

When the group heads to the bar.

        D
I get wasted, I get arrested,

And I puked some in the car.

           G
But I’ll always Sweep My P-Ways,

When Chief says do it now!

              D
It takes one guy to do the job,

I need four to tell me how.

        C
Oh, and I don’t want to work today,

But if work it has to be.

           D
Well I’ll drag my ass to Quarters,

So they can read me the POD.

          G
I’m an American Sailor in the USN,

             D
Beside my shipmates and shitbags,

That always seem to find ways in.

        C
When liberty is put out for me,

I will always get my fight

         G
And I’m out here at the whorehouse,

    A
To Get Some Ass Tonight
