And he takes no lip off nobody, And litter off the gutter, Puts it in a bag, And
never thinks to mutter

And he packs his lunch in a Sunblest bag, The children call him Bogie, He never
lets on, But I know `cause he once told me

That ship called--Dig- -ni--ty
And I`m telling this story
In a faraway scene
Sipping down Raki
And reading Maynard Keynes
And I`m thinking about home
And all that means
And a place in the winter
For Dignity
And I`ll sail her up the west coast, Through villages and towns
I`ll be on my holidays, They`ll be doing their rounds
They`ll ask me how I got her I`ll say, I saved my money
They`ll say isn`t she pretty, That ship called Dignity
Set it up set it up set it up set it up set it up set it up.etc
And I`m thinking about home
And I`m thinking about faith
And I`m thinking about work
And I`m thinking
How good it would be
To be here some day
On a ship called Dignity
A ship called Dignity
That ship
