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!
