Lyrics

Intro

Yo-ho

(He's sinkin')

Oh-ho

(He's sinkin' fast)

Chorus

Peg leg Captain with a leaky old hull

Only got one socket in his empty skull

Wooden teeth rattle when he tries to yell

And the parrot on his shoulder gives us hell

He's got a crew that thinks north is east

At least they’re happy to say the least

Yeah the Captain's sailin' on a sinkin' ride

Trying to find the gold on the other side

Verse 1

Silver teeth cost way too much

Splinters from his crutch

Gummin' on a salted biscuit

Always gonna risk it

Stepped inside a bucket of tar

Now he can't get far

Tripped over his own timber toe

Where'd the compass go

Chorus

Peg leg Captain with a leaky old hull

Only got one socket in his empty skull

Wooden teeth rattle when he tries to yell

And the parrot on his shoulder gives us hell

He's got a crew that thinks north is east

At least they’re happy to say the least

Yeah the Captain's sailin' on a sinkin' ride

Trying to find the gold on the other side

Bridge

Boat is filled with ocean foam

Should have stayed at home

Left is right

Right is wrong

Sing a sailin' song

Bailing water with a tiny spoon

Underneath a crooked moon

Verse 2

Staring through his dirty glass

Watch the seagull pass

Patch is over his good eye

Waves are gettin' high

Salty water's up to his waist

Got a funny taste

Told the men to row us home

Now we're lost in Rome

Chorus

Peg leg Captain with a leaky old hull

Only got one socket in his empty skull

Wooden teeth rattle when he tries to yell

And the parrot on his shoulder gives us hell

He's got a crew that thinks north is east

At least they’re happy to say the least

Yeah the Captain's sailin' on a sinkin' ride

Trying to find the gold on the other side
