A Capital Ship

A Capital Ship

(Charles Edward Carryl)


A capital ship for an ocean trip

Was the Walloping Window Blind

No wind that blew dismayed her crew

Or troubled the captain's mind

The man at the wheel was made to feel

Contempt for the wildest blow-ow-ow

Tho' it oft appeared when the gale had cleared

That he'd been in his bunk below


So, blow ye winds, heigh-ho

A-roving I will go

I'll stay no more on England's shore

So let the music play-ay-ay

I'm off for the morning train

To cross the raging main

I'm off to my love with a boxing glove

10,000 miles away


The bos'un's mate was very sedate

Yet fond of amusement too

He played hop-scotch with the starboard watch

While the captain tickled the crew

The gunner he was apparently mad

For he sat on the after ra-ra-rail

And fired salutes with the captain's boots

In the teeth of a booming gale


The captain sat on the commodore's hat

And dined in a royal way

Off pickles & figs & little roast pigs

And gunners bread each day

The cook was Dutch and behaved as such

For the diet he served the crew-ew-ew


Was a couple of tons of hot-cross buns

Served up with sugar and glue


Then we all fell ill as mariners will

On a diet that's rough and crude

And we shivered and shook as we dipped the cook

In a tub of his gluesome food

All nautical pride we cast aside

And we ran the vessel asho-o-ore

On the Gulliby Isles where the poopoo smiles

And the rubbily ubdugs roar


Composed of sand was that favored land

And trimmed with cinnamon straws

And pink and blue was the pleasing hue

Of the ticke-toe teaser's claws

We sat on the edge of a sandy ledge

And shot at the whistling bee-ee-ee

While the rugabug bats wore waterproof hats

As they dipped in the shining sea


On rugabug bark from dawn till dark

We dined till we all had grown

Uncommonly shrunk when a Chinese junk

Came up from the Torrible Zone

She was stubby and square, but we didn't much care

So we cherrily put to sea-ea-ea

And we left all the crew of the junk to chew

On the bark of the rubabug tree


NOTE: A parody of Ten Thousand Miles
