1. |
|
Captain Robert took his men |
|
And flew to Prague and back again |
|
Some fell off and some dropped dead |
|
And some put bullets through their head |
|
2. |
|
A skeleton crew is what came back |
|
And once in port he filled his sack |
|
With bribes and cash and fame and coin |
|
Things to make a new crew join |
|
3. |
|
Captain Robert took his crew |
|
To Shangri-la and Timbuktu |
|
Some went crazy, some got mad |
|
Some he kicked off ship in Chad |
|
4. |
|
A skeleton crew is what came back |
|
Who'd lived through mutiny, plague, and flak |
|
Strong and calloused, brave and tired |
|
All those who could stay inspired |
|
5. |
|
Captain Robert took his ship |
|
To Beijing and to Mozambique |
|
Stir crazy or in irons he clapped them |
|
One of them tried to kiss the captain |
|
6. |
|
Captain Robert looked at his crew |
|
And saw that everyone was new |
|
The crew got broke through misadventure |
|
No one could take another gut wrencher |
|
