Captain of the Ship of State
By WALLACE IRWIN
(Tune- Captain of the Pinafore' ")
Solo: He is the Captain of the Ship of State,
And a right good fellow, too.
Though he weighs a bit too high
For to flutter wings and fly,
He could boss an aero crew.
OF
For he fears no windy squalls
RG 401
From the Senate's marble halls,
From his poise he can't be thrust.
1
When the Party torrents boil
He can smooth 'em out like oil,
And he never, never busts a trust
When the Party torrents boil
He can smooth 'em out like oil,
And he never, never busts a trust
What, never?
No, never!
What, never?
Hardly ever!
And he never, never busts a trust
Chorus : Then give three cheers to celebrate
The gallant Captain of the Ship of State!
Then give three cheers to celebrate
The Captain of the Ship of State.
