Brazil Captain Mainwaring Lyrics

Captain Mainwaring Lyrics

Underwater in a submarine

He smokes a cigarette and blows th' steam

He navigates though th' deep blue sea

All by his lonesome-no company



Mainwaring in his submarine



Rescued a lady from a sinking ship

Then let her go on an iceberg tip

Ferried a family from an island head

Brought them to cannibals on a beach instead



Mainwaring in his submarine



His eyes are hollow just like his cheeks

His faded uniform not washed in weeks

He had a daughter to call his own

Poseidon's water took her long ago



Mainwaring in his submarine



Out the portal late at night

A sailor might see a wat'ry light

And if 'e sees it he'll let it be

It's the lonely Captain in his submarine



Mainwaring, where's your queen?
