There’s a gale in my sail and my jib got ripped oh my 
I got a gale in my sail and my jib got ripped oh my 
There’s a gale in my sail and my sheet ripped again you know 
Next time I take a trip I wanna bring my friend 
I got a gale in my sail and my jib got ripped oh my 

Well I’m standing out shaking in the crying rain oh my 
I’m standing out shaking in the crying rain oh my 
Well I’m standing out naked in the west coast rain 
Me and my brothers Bill we’re feeling no more pain 
I’m standing out shaking in the crying rain oh my 

So can I can I can I whoa 
Can I bring my friend 
You know he’s always up for a good time 
And he lifts me up when I get blind 
If we’re gonna see this thing right through to the end 
I’ve got to bring my friend 

Well my brakes are frozen and my block got cracked oh my 
Yeah my brakes done froze and my block is cracked oh my 
Yeah my brakes are frozen and my block done cracked 
I want to ride in his mustang when my friend gets back 
Ah my brakes are frozen and my block is cracked oh my 

So can I can I can I whoa
Can I bring my friend
Well he always uncorks a good wine
And he lifts me up when I get blind
If we’re gonna see this thing right through to the end I’ve got to bring my friend
