Long ago when I was just a lad
|
The other boys hated me, said I made them mad
|
I guess I didn't fit in with the norm
|
I'll never know why people are so desperate to conform
|
But I remember something that you said
|
Those 9 words of yours stuck inside my head
|
You said "Prince Charming, ridicule is nothing to be scared of"
|
So I took it as a rule
|
|
I slipped on my finest suit
|
Shined up my pirate boots
|
I put a medal on my lapel
|
I thought of you and gave them hell
|
|
We're captains all and we run this show
|
And we only sail where we want to go
|
And we live at ease doing as we please
|
Like pirates drifting out at sea
|
|
Most of us have weathered through a storm
|
And though they say what doesn't kill you often makes you better
|
We live to tell and carry on
|
After all, it's nothing but a patch of nasty weather
|
Some of us are still around
|
And you're still that dandy highway man that they're too scared to mention
|
And when you board you make us proud
|
It's admiral on deck and we're standing at attention
|
|
I slipped on my finest suit
|
Shined up my pirate boots
|
I put a medal on my lapel
|
We think of you and gave them hell
|
|
We're captains all and we run this show
|
And we only sail where we want to go
|
And we live at ease doing as we please
|
Like pirates drifting out at sea
|
That's right we're captains all and we run this show
|
And we only sail where we want to go
|
If you have orders though
|
Keep them to yourself 'cause the only ones we follow are our own!
|
|
As for the ones whom we adore
|
Those of our friends who still are lost out in the storm
|
We raise a glass to you
|
And leave on a light or two
|
In case you ever make it home
|
There's always room on board
|
|
We're captains all and we run this show
|
And we only sail where we want to go
|
And we live at ease doing as we please
|
Like pirates drifting out at sea
|
That's right we're captains all and we run this show
|
And we only sail where we want to go
|
If you have orders though
|
Keep them to yourself 'cause the only ones we follow are our own!
