Crazy Captain Gunboat Willie |
Crazy Captain Gunboat Willie |
Growled out his commands |
And all the able seamen |
Clicked their heels and swore |
They would protect the noble ship |
In peace-time and in war |
And they danced a jig until the dawn |
Sang a loyal sailors song |
Drank a pot of steaming rum |
Did all the things that loyal sailors do |
Captain Bill expressed great glee |
All the things that he had planned |
Were made to go his way |
All the fares he had collected and salted away |
Made his lips turn in a smile |
Just then Luke the rat from down below |
Called to Gunboat Bill |
He said |
Listen to those madmen wail |
They’ve been at sea for ninety days |
Without the sight of land |
No it doesn’t look so good to me |
No it doesn’t look so good at all |
The captain pondered what the rat had said |
Until he could think of nothing more |
Then he threw his crew into the foaming sea |
At least a thousand miles from shore |
And he danced a jig until the dawn |
Sang a loyal captain’s song |
Drank a pot of steaming rum |
Did all the things that loyal captains do |
The rat looked hard at Gunboat Bill |
And he said in a serious style |
As he leapt into the water |
Don’t believe, no don’t believe |
Don’t believe everything that you hear |
