"Captain Albert Alexander" Lyrics

Music & Lyrics by David Bennett

When he was a boy

he wanted to play

down by the sea

At age thirteen

everyday after school

he would always sail around the lake

All the people would stand and stare

as he sailed around with precision and care

With his bi-corner hat and the way he would stand

he looked just like a Navy man

All the townsfolk would gather and say, and sing away

Captain Albert Alexander

He'll be a brave seafarer someday

But that Captain Albert Alexander

He'll go down in the waves

By age twenty four

he had left the shore

and was sailing for the Queen

On a dark starry night

Albert awoke to the sound

of his Captain screaming as he was drowned

The Navy crew was taking a lick

pirates had invaded the ship

But Albert with one aimed harpoon

ignited their rum with a spark and soon

flames drove the pirates away

the Navy sang

Captain Albert Alexander

Saved his crew from pirate slaughter

But that Captain Albert Alexander

He'll go down in the water

Now everyone dance

Dance. Dance.

Twenty some odd years later

On his ship The Sea Slater

He sailed into a mass of blubber

Gazing up to the sky

stood a large walrus

that was a hundred stories high, it meant no harm

The walrus was in a great deal of pain

It suffered from a tusk with tooth decay

Albert threw his anchor 'round it's tusk

with a little bit of pulling it was out by dusk

The walrus thanked Albert and sang, as he sailed away

Captain Albert Alexander

Friend to sea urchin and me

But that Captain Albert Alexander

He'll go down in the sea

At a ripe old age lightning struck from the sky

and split Albert's vessel in two

One hundred men fled for their lives

on rafts across the ocean blue

Albert stood at the stern of his ship

A giant octopus had him in it's grip

A vortex of spiraling death below ripped

and sharks and electric eels all made the trip

to see Albert

sink to the bottom of the sea

Just before he went down

he called out to his crew

It's obvious that my time has come

I'll let this ending ensue

I've led an exciting nautical life it would seem

and there's no better end than a death by the sea

His crew sang

Captain Albert Alexander

He went down in the sea

But that Captain Albert Alexander

He'll go down in history

That Captain Albert Alexander

He went down in the sea
