Everybody listen to me and return me my ship
I m your captain I m your captain
Though I m feeling mighty sick
I ve been lost now days uncounted
And it s months since I ve seen home
Can you hear me can you hear me
Or am I all alone
If you ll return me to my home port
I will kiss you mother earth
Take me back now take me back now
To the port of my birth
Am I in my cabin dreaming
Or are you really scheming
To take my ship away from me
You d better think about it
I just can t live without it
So please don t take my ship from me yeah yeah
(Riff 1 Twice)
(Main Riff 4 Times)
I can feel the hand of a stranger
As it s tightening around my throat
Heaven help me heaven help me
Take this stranger from my boat
I m your captain I m your captain
Though I m feeling mighty sick
Everybody listen to me
And return me my ship
I m your captain yeah yeah yeah yeah
I m your captain yeah yeah yeah yeah
