the captain's wife

look at the woman

she's the belle of the ball

swimming 'round in her alochol

just like an actress on a movie screen

she's a phantom in a dream

she always likes a drink or two

to pick her up when she's feeling blue

oh

i

i think i'm falling in love

with the captain's wife

look at the captain on the party boat

he got medals on his coat

i'm just a gunner in your aeroplane

i got nothin' but a name

he always likes a drink or two

a pick-me-up when he's feelin' blue

oh

i

i think i'm falling in love

with the captain's wife

look at the moon

it's terribly sad

all exposed and

look at my shadow

long and tall

like a puppet on a wall

i always like a drink or two

to pick me up when i'm feelin' blue

oh

i

i think i'm falling in love

with the captain's wife
