At last we are to meet him
The famous Captain Spaulding
From climates hot and scalding
The Captain has arrived
Hello, I must be going
I cannot stay, I came to say
I must be going
I'm glad I came but just the same
I must be going
For my sake you must stay
If you should go away
You'll spoil the party I am throwing
I'll stay a week or two
I'll stay the summer through
But I am telling you
I must be a-goin'
Before you go
Will you oblige us
And tell us of
Your deeds so glowing?
I'll do anything you say
In fact I'll even stay
(Good!)
But I must be going
Hurray for Captain Spaulding
The African explorer
(Did someone call me schnorrer?)
Hurray, hurray, hurray
He went into the jungle
Where all the monkeys throw nuts
(If I stay here I'll go nuts)
Hurray, hurray, hurray
I put all my reliance
In courage and defiance
And risked my life for science
Hey, hey
One day in Madagascar
He bagged a dozen weasels
(Yes, and all of them had measles)
Hurray, hurray, hurray
I faced a chimpanzee once
So close I felt his breath
The creature looked at me once
And laughed himself to death
Hurray for Captain Spaulding
(That's me)
One day I caught an eagle
Too big for me to tote
I changed him for a sparrow
A jackass and a goat
Hurray for Captain Spaulding
(That's me)
One day a vicious monkey
Chased me a mile or two
I hid behind a donkey
The donkey fainted too
Hurray for Captain Spaulding
(That's me)
I had a guy named Teeter
He lent me his repeater
I brought down a mosquito
Hey, hey
Hurray for Captain Spaulding
The African explorer
Hurray, hurray, hurray
The first day I arrived in Africa...
Hurray for Captain Spaulding
The African explorer
Hurray, hurray, hurray
The first day I arrived in Africa...
Hurray for Captain Spaulding
The African explorer
Hurray, hurray, hurray
The first day I arri...
Hurray for Cap...
Fooled you that time didn't I?
Hurray, hurray, hurray
