Captain Birdseye

Lyrics and music by Jay Foreman

Only one chord throughout - Am
(or any other minor chord you like really)

Captain Birdseye
Captain Birdseye
Captain Birdseye
Captain Birdseye, Aye aye!

He could be coming to your town
He could be coming to your street
And you'll be fast asleep
So he'll get away with it

He'll take your children in his ship
And sail far away
And what he's gonna do with them
I do not like to say

Captain Birdseye
Captain Birdseye
Captain Birdseye
Captain Birdseye, Oo arr!

He take the children from the North
He take the children from the South
He put his fishy fishy fingers
In the children's mouth

And he teases them all day
By promising them treats
But gives them fishy fishy fingers
And nothing else to eat  - Eh!

Captain Birdseye
Captain Birdseye
Captain Birdseye
Captain Birdseye, Aye aye!

(Darren's rap)
Seriously, man
There's something wrong with that Captain Birdseye
I'm telling you! I'm telling you!
I said he won't play with you food (oh no!)
But he more than happy to play with your brood
I bet he not even a real captain!

Captain Birdseye
Captain Birdseye
Captain Birdseye
Captain Birdseye, Aye aye!

With his fishy fishy fingers
In the children's mouth
Fishy fishy fingers
He put them right inside their mouth
And he freezes them
Gives them nothing else to eat
I's fucking scared of captain Birdseye
Oh no!
Me don't even like fish
(speak brother!)
Keep Captain Birdsye away from my children's mouth
(Evil, babylon fish fingers!)
