My favorite lyric would have to come from Def Leppard "Pour some sugar".
The lyric part that always makes me chuckle is "I'm hot, sticky sweet From my head to my feet, yeah" because it always plays during the summer and I always end up in a humid place. The song overall though has a very catchy tune and lyrics.
I have many other songs I enjoy but that song and its lyrics stick out to me.

A Hope for a good catch!
It often helps to to move forward and overcome difficulties, i'm not a sailor, it's weird but it works!
Wellerman - is a sea shanty from the 19th century, originally sung by New Zealand whalers and sailors:
There once was a ship that put to sea The name of the ship was the Billy O' Tea The winds blew up, her bow dipped down Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go
She'd not been two weeks from shore When down on her a right whale bore The captain called all hands and swore He'd take that whale in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go
Before the boat had hit the water The whale's tail came up and caught her All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her When she dived down low (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go
No line was cut, no whale was freed The captain's mind was not of greed And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed She took that ship in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go
For forty days or even more The line went slack then tight once more All boats were lost, there were only four But still that whale did go (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone The Wellerman makes his regular call To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go
Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go

Alphaville - Forever Young
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
we'll let 'em come true
I like this lyric because not everything we want can't be provided but we have to try to achieve it
