Captain Obvious Lyrics by Machine Go Boom

Thank You Captain Obvious

2003

[Verse 1]
Oh, it was illogical
She was so very beautiful
That I called her up to say
"I'm coming home to you today
I'm only a couple years away"
[Break]
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
[Verse 2]
Oh, so save a seat for me
I'll be with you eventually
Without a shred of dignity
A lordsman took her away from me
[Chorus]
He said, "Halt! I am the captain of the ship!
You must obey my every whim!
I am the captain of the ship!
I am the captain of the ship!"
(Oh..)
[Break]
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
La-la la la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la la la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la la la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la la la
[Verse 3]
I remember everything
I just can't help remembering
They took us out of Sunday school
And drowned us in the swimming pool
[Verse 4]
Dirty shirts and underwear
They packed me with the silverware
It took a year or two or three
To find someone to rescue me
Oh love, it was illogical
She was so very beautiful
Oh well, she did not wait for me
A lordsman took her away, you see
[Chorus]
He said, "Halt! I am the captain of the ship!
You must obey my every whim!
I am the captain of the ship!
I am the captain of the ship!
I am the captain of the ship!
I am the captain of the ship!
I am the captain of the ship!
I am the captain of the ship!
I am the captain, captain!"
[Breakdown]
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey!
[Outro]
Take a look into the mirror
We are all captains of career
We are all captains of career
We are all captains of career
(Thank you!)
(You're welcome)
