So mention my name in Sheboygan |
|
And if you ever get in a jam |
|
Just mention name, I said mention my name |

While the teletypes are talkin' and the sirens roar |
|
I'll be hoppin' on a freighter for a foreign shore |
|

So mention my name in Paducah |
|
And if you ever get in a mess |
|
Just mention my name, I said mention my name |
