| I shook his hand and said goodbye and ran out to the street
|
| When a bowling ball came down the road and knocked me off my feet
|
| A pay phone was ringinâ. It just about blew my mind.
|
| When I picked it up and said hello, this foot came through the line.
|
| Well by this time I was fed up at trying to make a stand
|
| At bringing back any help for my friends and Captain Ahab
|
| I decided to flip a coin. I knew that heads or tails
|
| Would let me know if I should go back to the ship or back to jail.
|
| And then I hocked my sailor suit and got a coin to flip.
|
| It came up tails, which rhymes with sails, and went back to the ship.
|
| When I got back a took a parking ticket off the mast
|
| Started ripping it to shreds when a Coast Guard ship went passed
|
| They asked me my name and I said, âCaptain Kidd.â
|
| They believed me but they wanted to know what exactly that I did
|
| I said for a boat of a rough I was employed
|
| They let me go right away. They were very paranoid.
|
| Well the last I heard of Ahab he was stuck on a whale
|
| That was married to the jailkeep the sheriff of a jail
|
| But the funniest was I that I was talkinâ to some sailors on the dock
|
| I was told three ships were sailinâ; they were all headed by way.
|
| I asked the captain what his name was and where he trucked.
|
| He said his name was Columbus. I just said good luck.
|
| Woah, good luck, good luck.
