The Captain's Daughter lyrics

Donning full regalia

Strutting on the deck

A brave and handsome sailor

Was about to risk his neck

Rumour said he fancied

Some forbidden fruit

A pearl worthy of shanties

Prettier than any loot

So off he went to find her

Wherever she may be

The Captain's daughter

Dancing happily

And singing la la la la la la

Doo doo doo doo doo

And singing la la la la la la

Doo bee doo bee doo bee doo

And singing la la la la la la

Oh ho ho ho ho

And singing la la la la la la

Doh bee doh bee doh bee doh

So the silly sailor

Drunken on his love

Began to serenade her

Underneath the stars above

Seeing he was smitten

She restrained a smile

And made just like a kitten

Eyes big to beguile

But then he took her by surprise

And fell on bended knee

And asked her if she'd be his wife

Or else he'd die at sea

And he sang la la la la la la

Down on bended knee

And he sang la la la la la la

Will you marry me

And she sang la la la la la la

Else he'll die at sea

And she sang la la la la la la

So yes I'll marry thee

Then leaping to his feet

He swept her off the floor

And kissed her till he felt replete

Yet still, she wanted more

But when the Captain heard of this

He flew into a rage

Poseidon would be jealous of

In any day or age

Still they sang la la la la la la

This was meant to be

And they sang la la la la la la

We'll be married out at sea

And we'll make la la la la la la

Every single night

Until our tra la la la la la

Fa la la la's out of sight
