Captain Margo got his boots shined
by his mistress in the rain
right in the middle of a mudslide
She wiped, she spread
she smiled, she wiped
and life was good for every body
life is good for everyone
Captain Margot found a gold coin
and he polished it at night
using the reflector from a bike wheel
he wiped, he scraped
he smiled and wiped
and life was good for everybody
life was good for everyone
RI
but there are rats in the silo
pull grain for a living
pile in the slip shift
show up in your cereal

captain margot showed up married
on the 4th day of september
honey on the back side of some wheat toast
she spread, and bit
she smiled, and spread
and life was good for everybody
life was good for everyone
and captain margot says a sailor
feels the salt course in his veins
and has no need for explanation
he sails, he floats
he smiles and sails
and life is good for everybody
life is good for everyone
RI
but there's a thin line of difference
between aesthetics and emotion
one might please the view,
one torments by touchless wonder
INL
And life is good for everybody, life is good for everyone
BUT, CAPTAIN...
