[Verse 1]

Oh, it was illogical

She was so very beautiful

That I called her up to say

"I'm coming home to you today

I'm only a couple years away"

[Break]

La la la la la la, la la la la la la

La la la la la la, la la la la la la

[Verse 2]

Oh, so save a seat for me

I'll be with you eventually

Without a shred of dignity

A lordsman took her away from me

[Chorus]

He said, "Halt! I am the captain of the ship!

You must obey my every whim!

I am the captain of the ship!

I am the captain of the ship!"

(Oh..)

[Break]

La la la la la la, la la la la la la

La la la la la la, la la la la la la

La-la la la, la-la-la-la-la

La-la la la, la-la-la-la-la

La-la la la, la-la-la-la-la

La-la la la

[Verse 3]

I remember everything

I just can't help remembering

They took us out of Sunday school

And drowned us in the swimming pool

[Verse 4]

Dirty shirts and underwear

They packed me with the silverware

It took a year or two or three

To find someone to rescue me

Oh love, it was illogical

She was so very beautiful

Oh well, she did not wait for me

A lordsman took her away, you see

[Chorus]

He said, "Halt! I am the captain of the ship!

You must obey my every whim!

I am the captain of the ship!

I am the captain of the ship!

I am the captain of the ship!

I am the captain of the ship!

I am the captain of the ship!

I am the captain of the ship!

I am the captain, captain!"

[Breakdown]

La, la, la, la

La, la, la, la

La, la, la, la

Hey, hey!

Hey, hey!

[Outro]

Take a look into the mirror

We are all captains of career

We are all captains of career

We are all captains of career

(Thank you!)

(You're welcome)
