Captain Susan

©1984 Andrew Calhoun, unrecorded

Captain Susan's gonna drive us to the airport
Where we will pick up Mom and Dad
Flying in on a 707
From London, Rome or Trinidad
Captain Susan's gonna park the car
Captain Susan's gonna buy us milkshakes
Captain Susan will smoke a cigar
You know she bakes all of our birthday cakes
Oh, Captain, Captain Susan
Oh, Captain Susan

Someday Captain Susan's gonna leave us
She's gonna go out on the sea
And we'll say, see ya later, navigator
After she gets her degree
She's gonna be her own little navy
Gonna take us along for a ride
She will dish up the biscuits and gravy
And her big eyes twinkle with pride
Oh, Captain, Captain Susan
Oh, Captain Susan

All day, Captain Susan is watching
Us playing and a-laying in the sand
We don't know word she is thinking
As she looks across thewater and the land

Captain Susan will help us to remember
Captain Susan will get us home safe
Captain Susan will die of a fever
In the Springtime, at Wilkerson's place
Oh, Captain, Captain Susan
Oh, Captain Susan
