Lena Horne The Captain And His Men
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!
