Buy the Captain Rum Songtext
von Abney Park

Ooooh, A captain′s life seems elegant
With far more booze than regiment.
He's required to provide
For all the crew aboard.

When provisions are running short,
And if the ship is far from port,
The Cap himself must sacrifice
For all the crew aboard.

There′s no rum in the captain's barrel.
There's rum on the captain′s table,
And rum in the captain′s crew,
So buy the captain rum.

No rum in the captain's barrel.
There′s rum on the captain's table,
And rum in the captain′s crew,
So buy the captain rum.


He opens up his lighter, fair,
And from his barrels he must prepare.
The Tuxican sold the finest salt
For all the crew aboard.

But when provisions are running short,
And if the ship is far from port,
The Cap himself must sacrifice
For all the crew aboard.

No rum in the captain's barrel.
There′s rum on the captain's table,
And rum in the captain's crew,
So buy the captain rum.

No rum in the captain′s barrel.
There′s rum on the captain's table,
And rum in the captain′s crew,
So buy the captain rum.

What should we do with the drunken sailor
What should we do with the drunken sailor
What should we do with the drunken sailor
Early in the morning!
