Crazy Captain Gunboat Willie 
Growled out his commands 
And all the able seamen 
Clicked their heels and swore 

They would protect the noble ship 
In peace-time and in war 
And they danced a jig until the dawn 
Sang a loyal sailors song 

Drank a pot of steaming rum 
Did all the things that loyal sailors do 
Captain Bill expressed great glee 
All the things that he had planned 

Were made to go his way 
All the fares he had collected and salted away 
Made his lips turn in a smile 
Just then Luke the rat from down below 

Called to Gunboat Bill 
He said 
Listen to those madmen wail 
They've been at sea for ninety days 

Without the sight of land 
No it doesn't look so good to me 
No it doesn't look so good at all 
The captain pondered what the rat had said 

Until he could think of nothing more 
Then he threw his crew into the foaming sea 
At least a thousand miles from shore 
And he danced a jig until the dawn 

Sang a loyal captain's song 
Drank a pot of steaming rum 
Did all the things that loyal captains do 
The rat looked hard at Gunboat Bill 

And he said in a serious style 
As he leapt into the water 
Don't believe, no don't believe 
Don't believe everything that you hear
