Captain Said
On the sea, raised and regimented
With both legs half segmented
He lost them in the war
I don't know how he ever fought
Or tied a sailors knot
He never yelled, he never swore
He never walked, he never ran
I say he's not a human man
And I say that's the truth
Haddock and cod, his morning musk
I swear I saw a walrus tusk
In place of a tooth
But he's our Captain and he's brave
And till the end of our days
He'll never leave our side
And though I cannot place
His exact species, sex or race
I'd want no one else leading our ride
Captain Said I'd rather be dead
Than let my ship go down
Please don't let me down
Please don't let my ship go down
He took me in as one of his own
Like a father love was shown
He became my family
For 40 days and 40 nights
I only saw harbour lights
But that was fine with me
Yes he's our Captain and he's kind
With a protective state of mind
He'd never let us die
Yet this feeling comes to me
That he was born inside the sea
But I really don't know why
Captain Said I'd rather be dead
Than let my ship go down
Please don't let me down
Please don't let my ship go down
Captain Said I'd rather be dead
Than let my ship go down
Please don't let me down
Please don't let my ship go down
With both legs half segmented
He lost them in the war
I don't know how he ever fought
Or tied a sailors knot
He never yelled, he never swore
He never walked, he never ran
I say he's not a human man
And I say that's the truth
Haddock and cod, his morning musk
I swear I saw a walrus tusk
In place of a tooth
But he's our Captain and he's brave
And till the end of our days
He'll never leave our side
And though I cannot place
His exact species, sex or race
I'd want no one else leading our ride
Captain Said I'd rather be dead
Than let my ship go down
Please don't let me down
Please don't let my ship go down
He took me in as one of his own
Like a father love was shown
He became my family
For 40 days and 40 nights
I only saw harbour lights
But that was fine with me
Yes he's our Captain and he's kind
With a protective state of mind
He'd never let us die
Yet this feeling comes to me
That he was born inside the sea
But I really don't know why
Captain Said I'd rather be dead
Than let my ship go down
Please don't let me down
Please don't let my ship go down
Captain Said I'd rather be dead
Than let my ship go down
Please don't let me down
Please don't let my ship go down
