| Here comes the Captain and his men
|
| Brave little soldiers under ten
|
| Dishpans, broomsticks all in view
|
| Here comes the Captain and his crew!
|
| See that commander, how he struts
|
| Followed by the neighbors' barking mutts
|
| What a commotion, biff, boom, bang!
|
| Here comes the Captain and his gang!
|
| The first in line is Private Brown
|
| Cute little patches fallin' down
|
| Tramp, tramp, tramp as they go along
|
| Tramp, tramp, tramp, there must be somethin' wrong!
|
| Here comes the Captain and his men
|
| Followed by his hungry men
|
| The meals are served and the prayers are said
|
| There goes the Captain off to bed!
|
| Ice cream is his favorite dish
|
| He breaks a chicken bone and he makes a wish
|
| Ice cream is his favorite dish
|
| But how he really goes for fish!
|
| Bump-ditty-ump-doo-ee, went the Captain
|
| Bump-ditty-ump-doo-ee, went the Captain
|
| Bump-ditty-ump-doo-ee, went the Captain
|
| There goes the Captain off to bed
|
| Bump-ditty-ump-doo-ee, went the Captain
|
| Now I lay me down to sleep
|
| A bag of peanuts at my feet
|
| If I should die before I wake
|
| You know I died with a tummy-ache
|
| There goes the Captain off to bed
|
| There goes the Captain off to bed! |
