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
