Captain Dan

I'm Captain Dan the Pirate
The one all the good children know
I make ‘em yell and scream with joy
At my big top travelling circus show

I'm Captain Dan the Pirate
The children love having me around
Good clean kiddie fun for every one
As I lead my band of dastard clowns

I'm Captain Dan the Pirate
I've been playing him for years
How I love childish laughter
That's always ringing in my ears

I'm Captain Dan the Pirate
When the children are out of sight
I don my cloak of darkest silk
To slide gently out into the night

I'm Captain Dan the Pirate
But hiding not far underneath
Is a creature of nightmare fear
With sharpest of sharp teeth

I'm Captain Dan the Pirate
And maybe I'm insane
But I love the intimate feel
Of teeth deep piercing vein

I'm Captain Dan the Pirate
Somehow they never seem to know
Death and degradation always follow
My travelling big top circus show

I'm Captain Dan the Pirate
And I hood wink all those fools
As I caution children on safety
By invitation in their schools

I'm Captain Dan the Pirate
And I have the deepest need
And innocent little children
Provide sweetest of sweet feed

I'm Captain Dan the Pirate
The one all the good children know
I make ‘em yell and scream with joy
At my big top travelling circus show
