When he was a bCoy
he wanted to pGlay
Amdown by the sFea
At age thirtCeen
everyday after schGool
Amhe would always saFil around the lakCe
CAll the people would stand and stare
as he saGiled around with precision and care
With his biAm-corner hat and the way he would stand
he looFked just like a Navy man
AmAll the townsfolk would gather and saFy, and sing away
CCaptain Albert AleGxander
He'll be a bAmrave seafarer someFday
But that CapCtain Albert AleGxander
AmHe'll go down in the wFaves
By age twenty Cfour
he had left the Gshore
and was sAmailing for the QFueen
On a dark starry Cnight
Albert awoke to the sGound
of his AmCaptain screaming as he was dFrowned
The CNavy crew was taking a lick
piGrates had invaded the ship
But AlAmbert with one aimed harpoon
ignFited their rum with a spark and soon
fAmlames drove the pirates aFway
the Navy sang
CCaptain Albert AleGxander
AmSaved his crew from pirate slFaughter
But that CCaptain Albert AleGxander
He'll go dAmown in the waFter
C *
Now everyone dance
G * Am/F
Dance. Dance.
Twenty some odd years lCater
On his ship The Sea SGlater
He Amsailed into a mass oFf blubber
Gazing up to the Csky
stood a large waGlrus
that was a hAmundred stories hFigh, it meant no hCarm
CThe walrus was in a great deal of pain
It sGuffered from a tusk with tooth decay
AmAlbert threw his anchor 'round it's Ftusk
with a little bit of pulling it was out by dAmusk
The walrus thanked Albert and Fsang, as he sailed away
CCaptain Albert AleGxander
AmFriend to sea urchin and Fme
But that CCaptain Albert AleGxander
He'll go Amdown in the Fsea
At a Gripe old age lightning Amstruck from the sky
and Gsplit Albert's vessel in Amtwo
One Ghundred men fled Amfor their lives
on rGafts across the ocean Amblue
AmAlbert stood at the sFtern of his ship
A Amgiant octopus had Fhim in it's grip
A vAmortex of spiraling dFeath below ripped
Am * F *
and sharks and electric eels all made the trip
to see AAmlbert
Csink to the bottom of the Fsea
AmJust before he went Fdown
he Amcalled out to his Fcrew
It's oAmbvious that my Ftime has come
I'll Amlet this ending eFnsue
I've Amled an exciting nautical Flife it would seem
and there's Amno better end than a Fdeath by the sea
His crew sang
CCaptain Albert AleGxander
He went Amdown in the Fsea
But that CCaptain Albert AleGxander
He'll go dAmown in hiFstory
That CCaptain Albert AleGxander
He went Amdown Fin the Csea
