I left my captain's hat at home There's no pirates I can dodge or islands to explore Just some plain folks who don't mind The sound of screaming children and drinking too much vodka lime
And oh I sing No way to change what's been said and done I've set my own course and I'll try to carry on
On my days off from my ship I sail the windy streets of Stockholm Captain of the great Vasa warship It's first breakfast with the king Recount the month's adventures and divvy up the treasures that I bring
But oh I sing No way to change what's been said and done I've set my own course and I'll try to carry on So back and forth I go on this Baltic sea Waiting for a whale to come and rescue me hey, hey and I hear them sing: oh let's all toast to the ones we love to old friends and to Viking blood Oh we can sing all night till the prince wakes up
