Captain Sad And His Ship Of Fools - The Cowsills

La la la la la la la la

You know every naughty lyric to every bawdy tune

I understand you’ve really been around

And everybody loves you 'cause you take them to the moon

How is it you can’t make it on the ground?

You’re Captain Sad on the ship of fools

I think you should look down

Cause your paper ship is soon to run aground

Now you’ve traveled around the world and collected all the flags

But the Rand-McNally globe is all you’ve seen

And you ramble on for hours about the stickers on your bag

Describing places that you’ve never been

You’re Captain Sad on the ship of fools

I think you should look down

'Cause your paper ship is soon to run aground

Now everybody’s wishing, they could all be just like you

They’d sell their souls to do the things you’ve done

And they love to hear the stories of the two wars you’ve been through

But you know you never fought in either one

You’re Captain Sad on the ship of fools

I think you should look down

'Cause your paper ship is soon to run aground
