1. The band all played the songs together,
The drummer's beat was mutiny.
And when we entered stormy weather,
The captain jumped into the sea.
2. And so the captain he began to swim,
And headed for an island shore.
Another band was waiting for him,
His music played again once more.
3. And soon we built another ship for sea,
The first mate raised the union jack.
And when we sailed on to our destiny,
We never bothered to look back.
