Captain Splendid

Nobody cares

bout ocean affairs

He's by himself 'cause nobody loves him

Cleaning his sand

Filled boots with his hand

Looking for something but nothing sees him

Happy was he

in spite of his knee

That wasn't there because of his day job

There was a man

who took to the band

paying attention tried to adhere him

And he ran

And he shot

But his rivals were sharp

And the kids

in the sand

struggled finding a plan

Seemingly fine

he sipped on his wine

Terror was healthy but not on a mission

There was a sea

A mystical tease

Our cannons were shot

'til we couldn't afford them

Others would have died alone

Angels all worked free

Timeless fairs and sing-alongs

Speaking naturally

And he ran

And he shot

But his rivals were sharp

And the kids

in the sand

struggled deep hand in hand

All the way

from the bay

We can hear them say

All the time

we were dead

And I'm Cap' Splendid

And he ran

And he shot

But his rivals were sharp

And the kids

in the sand

struggled deep hand in hand

All the way

from the bay

I could hear them say

I don't care

if we're dead

I am Captain Splendid
