letra de a capital ship - tom chapin

a capital ship for an ocean trip
was the walloping window blind
no wind that blew dismayed her crew
nor troubled the captain’s mind
the man at the wheel was made to feel
contempt for the wildest blow-ow-ow
though it oft appeared
when the gale had cleared
he had been in his bunk below

so blow ye winds, heigh-ho!
a-roving i will go
i’ll stay no more on england’s shore
so let the music play-ay-ay
i’m off for the morning train
i’ll cross the raging main
i’m off for my love with the boxing glove
ten thousand miles away

the bosun’s mate was very sedate
yet fond of amusеment, too
he played hopscotch with thе starboard watch
while the captain tickled the crew
the gunner we had was apparently mad
for he sat on the after ra-ai-ail
and fired salutes with the captain’s boots
in the t–th of a booming gale
so blow ye winds, heigh-ho!
a-roving i will go
i’ll stay no more on england’s shore
so let the music play-ay-ay
i’m off for the morning train
i’ll cross the raging main
i’m off for my love with the boxing glove
ten thousand miles away

the captain sat on the commodore’s hat
and dined at the royal way
off of pickles and figs and little roast pigs
and gunnery bread each day
the cook was dutch and behaved as such
for the diet, he served the crew-ew-ew
was a couple of tons of hot-cross buns
served up with sugar and glue

then we all fell ill, as mariners will
on a diet that’s rough and crude
and we shivered and shook as we dipped the cook
in a tub of his gluesome food
all nautical pride we cast aside
and we ran the vessel asho-o-ore
on the gulliby isles, where the p–poo smiles
and the rubbily ubdugs roar
so blow ye winds, heigh-ho!
a-roving i will go
i’ll stay no more on england’s shore
so let the music play-ay-ay
i’m off for the morning train
i’ll cross the raging main
i’m off for my love with the boxing glove
ten thousand miles away
