E When he was a boy Ab7 he wanted to play Dbm A down by the sea E At age thirteen Ab7 everyday after school Dbm A he would always sail around the lake E All the people would stand and stare Ab7 as he sailed around with precision and care E With his bi-corner hat and the way he would stand Ab7 he looked just like a Navy man Dbm A All the townsfolk would gather and say, and sing away E A Captain Albert Alexander B A He'll be a brave seafarer someday E A But that Captain Albert Alexander B A He'll go down in the waves E by age twenty four Ab7 he had left the shore Dbm A and was sailing for the Queen E On a dark starry night Ab7 Albert awoke to the sound Dbm A of his Captain screaming as he was drowned E The navy crew was taking a lick Ab7 pirates had invaded the ship E But Albert with one aimed harpoon Ab7 ignited their rum with a spark and soon Dbm A flames from the pirates away, the navy sang E A Captain Albert Alexander B A saved his crew from slaughter E A But that Captain Albert Alexander B A He'll go down in the water Now everyone dance Dance. Dance. E twenty some odd years later Ab7 on his ship the sea slater Dbm A he sailed into a mass of blubber E gazing up to the sky Ab7 stood a large walbus Dbm A that was a hundred stories high, it meant no harm E the walrus was in a great deal of pain Ab7 it suffered from a tusk with tooth decay E Albert threw his anchor round it’s tusk Ab7 with a little bit of pulling it was out by dusk Dbm A the walrus thanked albert and sang, as he sailed away E A Captain Albert Alexander B A friend to sea urchin and me E A But that Captain Albert Alexander B A He'll go down in the sea E Am At a ripe old age lightning struck from the sky E Am and split Albert's vessel in two E Am One hundred men fled for their lives E Am on rafts across the ocean blue Dbm A Albert stood at the stern of his ship Dbm A A giant octopus had him in it's grip Dbm A A vortex of spiraling death below ripped Dbm A and sharks and electric eels all made the trip Dbm to see Albert E A sink to the bottom of the sea Dbm A Just before he went down Dbm A he called out to his crew Dbm A It's obvious that my time has come Dbm A I'll let this ending ensue Dbm A I've led an exciting nautical life it would seem Dbm A and there's no better end than a death by the sea His crew sang E A Captain Albert Alexander B A he went down in the sea E A But that Captain Albert Alexander B A he’ll go down in history E A that Captain Albert Alexander B A he went down in the sea
