Do It For Captain (Captain Barducci)

from In Dubious Battle | The Songfight! Tracks by NIL

about

Captain Barducci was named after a SF forum troll of the same name, and here we encounter the good Captain sailing into port for some routine boat maintenance. Or is he? June, 2001.

lyrics

Do it for Captain,
Captain Barducci

Ahoy!

Let me dock in your port
and release my bilge.
It's been 6 weeks
around the horn, you see,
and it's time to varnish
the old mizzen mast,
if you know what I'm sayin'.

Hey, do it for the captain,
open up your dry dock.
I'll hoist an anchor and
steam up your harbor.
Then you can get to work
polishing my port hole,
and scraping the barnacles
off my vessel.

One last thing,
can you swab my poop deck?
Do it for me, huh?
Captain Barducci

Do it for Captain,
Captain Barducci.
