Song Lyrics
We're playing a trick on the Captain, he thinks we've forgotten his birthday.
We're playing a trick on the Captain, we're hiding the presents away.
We're playing a trick on the Captain, he thinks we've forgotten his birthday.
We're playing a trick on the Captain, we're hiding the streamers away.
We're playing a trick on the Captain, he thinks we've forgotten his birthday.
We're playing a trick on the Captain, don't give the trick away.
