Captain Albert Alexander

              C
When he was a boy
              E7
he wanted to play
Am           F/C
down by the sea

            C
At age thirteen
                E7
everyday after school
Am              F/C
he would always sail around the lake

C
All the people would stand and stare
        E7
as he sailed around with precision 
and care
         C
With his bi-corner hat and the way 
he would stand
    E7
he looked just like a Navy man
Am                                
All the townsfolk would gather and
   F/C
 say, and sing away

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

      E7                    Am
At a ripe old age lightning struck 
from the sky
     E7                     Am
and split Albert's vessel in two
     E7            Am
One hundred men fled for their lives
     E7                  Am
on rafts across the ocean blue

Am                   F/C
Albert stood at the stern of his 
ship
   Am               F/C
A giant octopus had him in it's grip
   Am                  F/C
A vortex of spiraling death below 
ripped
   Am                         F/C
and sharks and electric eels all 
made the trip
       Am
to see Albert
C                         F/C
sink to the bottom of the sea

Am                  F/C
Just before he went down
Am                  F/C
he called out to his crew
Am                   F/C
It's obvious that my time has come
      Am              F/C
I'll let this ending ensue
      Am                       F/C
I've led an exciting nautical life 
it would seem
            Am                   
and there's no better end than a 
F/C
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
