Not new wave - you'll probably laugh

I'm looking for an mp3 of "Shakedown Cruise" by Jay Ferguson from 1979. It contains the memorable lines,

The captain laughs he says,
"You boys want some sex?"
You can squeeze the sails,
You can lick the decks

Your kindness is appreciated.

Actually, most of his stuff -- "Thunder Island" aside -- is really hard to come by anywhere on CD. It's funny that you mention that song -- I have it recorded on an old off-the-radio tape circa '79! Those are the lines I always recall as well![:D]

Thanks, ekahob! I've been off the Collector's Choice mail list for sometime now and therefore out o' the loop. I have no idea how strong this album is, but I'd like to have "Shakedown Cruise" on CD.
