[00:00] When he was a boy
[00:03] he wanted to play
[00:07] down by the sea
[00:13] At age thirteen
[00:16] everyday after school
[00:20] he would always sail around the lake
[00:27] All the people would stand and stare
[00:29] as he sailed around with precision and care
[00:32] With his bi-corner hat and the way he would stand
[00:36] he looked just like a Navy man
[00:39] All the townsfolk would gather and say, and sing away
[00:45] Captain Albert Alexander
[00:50] He'll be a brave seafarer someday
[00:57] But that Captain Albert Alexander
[01:03] He'll go down in the waves
[01:08] By age twenty four
[01:12] he had left the shore
[01:15] and was sailing for the Queen
[01:22] On a dark starry night
[01:24] Albert awoke to the sound
[01:28] of his Captain screaming as he was drowned
[01:35] The Navy crew was taking a lick
[01:37] pirates had invaded the ship
[01:41] But Albert with one aimed harpoon
[01:44] ignited their rum with a spark and soon
[01:47] flames drove the pirates away
[01:51] the Navy sang
[01:53] Captain Albert Alexander
[01:58] Saved his crew from pirate slaughter
[02:05] But that Captain Albert Alexander
[02:11] He'll go down in the water
[02:17] Now everyone dance
[02:19] Dance. Dance.
[02:33] Twenty some odd years later
[02:37] On his ship The Sea Slater
[02:41] He sailed into a mass of blubber
[02:46] Gazing up to the sky
[02:49] stood a large walrus
[02:52] that was a hundred stories high, it meant no harm
[02:59] The walrus was in a great deal of pain
[03:03] It suffered from a tusk with tooth decay
[03:06] Albert threw his anchor 'round it's tusk
[03:09] with a little bit of pulling it was out by dusk
[03:12] The walrus thanked Albert and sang, as he sailed away
[03:18] Captain Albert Alexander
[03:24] Friend to sea urchin and me
[03:30] But that Captain Albert Alexander
[03:37] He'll go down in the sea
[03:43] At a ripe old age lightning struck from the sky
[03:49] and split Albert's vessel in two
[03:55] One hundred men fled for their lives
[04:01] on rafts across the ocean blue
[04:08] Albert stood at the stern of his ship
[04:14] A giant octopus had him in it's grip
[04:20] A vortex of spiraling death below ripped
[04:26] and sharks and electric eels all made the trip
[04:32] to see Albert
[04:36] sink to the bottom of the sea
[04:45] Just before he went down
[04:51] he called out to his crew
[04:57] It's obvious that my time has come
[05:03] I'll let this ending ensue
[05:09] I've led an exciting nautical life it would seem
[05:15] and there's no better end than a death by the sea
[05:23] His crew sang
[05:27] Captain Albert Alexander
[05:34] He went down in the sea
[05:41] But that Captain Albert Alexander
[05:48] He'll go down in history
[05:56] That Captain Albert Alexander
[06:01] He went down in the sea
