Captain Sad And His Ship Of Fools
La la la la la la la la la Ha ha ha
La la la la la la la la
You know every naughty lyric to every bawdy tune
I understand you've really been around
And everybody loves you 'cause you take them to the moon
How is it you can't make it on the ground?
You're Captain Sad on the ship of fools
I think you should look down
Cause your paper ship is soon to run aground.
Now you've traveled around the world and collected all the flags
But the Rand-McNally globe is all you've seen
And you ramble on for hours about the stickers on your bag
Describing places that you've never been.
You're Captain Sad on the ship of fools
I think you should look down
'Cause your paper ship is soon to run aground.
Now everybody's wishing, they could all be just like you
They'd sell their souls to do the things you've done
And they love to hear the stories of the two wars you've been through
But you know you never fought in either one.
You're Captain Sad on the ship of fools
I think you should look down
'Cause your paper ship is soon to run aground.
La la la la la la la la
You know every naughty lyric to every bawdy tune
I understand you've really been around
And everybody loves you 'cause you take them to the moon
How is it you can't make it on the ground?
You're Captain Sad on the ship of fools
I think you should look down
Cause your paper ship is soon to run aground.
Now you've traveled around the world and collected all the flags
But the Rand-McNally globe is all you've seen
And you ramble on for hours about the stickers on your bag
Describing places that you've never been.
You're Captain Sad on the ship of fools
I think you should look down
'Cause your paper ship is soon to run aground.
Now everybody's wishing, they could all be just like you
They'd sell their souls to do the things you've done
And they love to hear the stories of the two wars you've been through
But you know you never fought in either one.
You're Captain Sad on the ship of fools
I think you should look down
'Cause your paper ship is soon to run aground.
