Sir Captain Can McCarty
Of the SS Apple Pie
Sailed his ship through the stratosphere into the unknown sky
He had lazer beams and knew Taiwanese and had a robot-fucking-eye
Can you believe that shit? (Nope)
He's not here now
And we never knew why
Captain Can Captain Can
Where ya been where ya been?
Captain Can Captain Can
Whoa-o-o-o-oh the McCarty Party!
Some say he fought a giant squid with lazer-fucking-eyes
And could probably control shit with his fucking mind- oh my!
He shot lightning bolts- at a thousand volts that could tear apart the sky
Can you believe that shit? (Nope)
He fought that bitch and I'm not sure if he died
Pulled out his sling shot and said...
BOUNCE
As the fight ensued
Our hero against the ropes
And who's the victor?
Oh our Captain! Oh our Captain!
DANCE!
