Captain Albert Alexander

C 
When he was a boy 
              G 
he wanted to play 
Am           F 
down by the sea 

            C 
At age thirteen 
                  G 
everyday after school 
Am                              F 
he would always sail around the lake 

C 
All the people would stand and stare 
        G 
as he sailed around with precision and care 
           C or Am 
With his bi-corner hat and the way he would stand 
      G or F 
he looked just like a Navy man 
Am                                   F 
All the townsfolk would gather and say, and sing away 

C 
Captain Albert Alexander 
            G 
He'll be a brave seafarer someday 
             C 
But that Captain Albert Alexander 
Am                    F 
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
