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 the line
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 ? 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 sing all night to the brig Svea And I'll just bide my time Steer the Silja line
