Captain Lou
Kimya Dawson

(feat. Aesop Rock)


When Michael died, people all over the world did the moon walk and the thriller

When Patrick died, people all over the world tried to do that lift

When Farrah died, people all over the world feathered their hair and put on hot pants

When John Hughes died, people all over the world said Bueller, Bueller

Well today we lost another hero

Today we lost another friend

Today we lost the world's greatest manager

Today we lost the captain, yeah

Today we lost the captain


I hope a million elbows drop and a million heads get locked

And a million beards get banded and a million bodies slammed

A million piles driven and a million lives start living because you never, ever know when it will be your time to go

No you never, ever know when it will be your time to go


He was often imitated but you cannot duplicate the one who thought you how to win, the one who taught you how to have fun


Really, really changed me as a kid back in the 80's

The first time I saw him he seemed colorful and crazy

In my baggy jams and my different color sneaks they could do what I could do and even if I got teased I know I'm not the only kid my age who feels they have to owe you

You set a generation of freaks free with your persona

With your rubber banded face and your rubber banded beard

You gave a lot of kids permission to let out their inner weird

So here's to you

Captain Lou yeah, I love you yeah

Captain Lou, Captain Lou yeah, I love you yeah [x4]


I hope a million elbows drop and a million heads get locked

And a million beards get banded and a million bodies slammed

A million piles driven and a million lives start living because you never, ever know when it will be your time to go

No you never, ever know when it will be your time to go [x4]
