Captain Penelope Smith Lyrics[Verse 1]
I was down on the prom with my darling girl Cleo
She was sitting there, blushing in her naval lamb uniform
She caught her eyes; or did her eyes catch me?
And with her lips she said "Come over to me"
[Verse 2]
I bought her flowers each day; she said "Romance is out of season"
I was all about love and she was more about reason
She tied my hands and trampled on my heart
We were perfect from the start
[Chorus]
She's the captain of our ship, so we'd better get a grip
She's the captain of our ship, so we'd better get a grip
With a whip-slap of a hand, she'll make all the sailors stand
[?] does she writhe so merrily
She's the mistress of the waves, so be sure that you behave-have-have!
[Coda]
Come sail with me, Captain Penelope
Here I sit alone, in my cold empty home
Come sail with me, Captain Penelope
Though the masts are gone, we'll still sing your song
Come sail with me, Captain Penelope
Here I sit alone, in my cold empty home
Come sail with me, Captain Penelope
Though the masts are gone, we'll still sing your song
Come sail with me, Captain Penelope
Here I sit alone, in my cold empty home
Come sail with me, Captain Penelope
Though the masts are gone, we'll still sing your song
