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 a word she is thinking 
As she looks across the water 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
