I got me job as a first mate on a ship trading silk
The captain was a lovely man, there are a few of his ilk
Da-da-da
He told me of his one true love, and on that third night at sea
He said he heard the sirens call, and I saw him f*cking a manatee
Da-da-da
Oh, Captain, dear Captain, da-da-da
Ignore that bliss
Oh, Captain, dear Captain, da-da-da
Pull yourself from the fish
I asked the deckhand to explain, he said the captain loves his drink
He got confused on a rum, and it clouded the way he thinks
Da-da-da
Swabby says he can't get enough, it's why we're always out to tide
The captain is always itching to give his lover a ride
Da-da-da
Oh, Captain, dear Captain, da-da-da
I look at you with disgust
Oh, Captain, dear Captain, da-da-da
As you grunt and thrust
I woke to find the crew a mess, the captain was no more
He stayed in her too long, she took him to the ocean floor
Da-da-da
Now I'm in charge, as I look to the blue sky
But I might meet the same fate, this whale is giving me the eye
Da-da-da
Oh, Captain, dear Captain, da-da-da
Pay attention to the sail
Oh, Captain, dear Captain, da-da-da
You don't need that kind of tail
Da-da-da-da-da
The sea should be believed
Da-da-da-da-da
Your sword should stay sheathed
Da-da-da-da-da
Smell that ocean air
Da-da-da-da-da
That's sultry, look, beware
