Lyrics for Captain Saint Lucifer

Mama, Mama You're a whiz and a scholar too Mama open up the room lock Sip, sip I'm going to the moon dock He gives to me Buckles off shingles Off a cockleshell on Norway basin Coke and tuna Boots and roses from Russia Now I'll live and die and rise With my captain Mama I told my Mama say go Meet me Capt. St. Lucifer Darlin' I'll be there Don't you know Meet me Capt. St. Lucifer Darlin' I'll be there And if you know Don't you know Now don't you know I love you Meet me Capt. St. Lucifer I love you Love you I do Mama Mama You're a whiz and a scholar too Mama I'm at anchor in your glow now Sip sip Even as I go now He gives to me Buckles off shingles And a jangle from a Congo love chase Early bloomers made of earth and love lace Now I'll live and die and rise With my captain Mama I told my Mama be happy Meet me Capt. St. Lucifer Darlin' I'll be there Don't you know Meet me Capt. St. Lucifer Darlin' I'll be there And if you know Gutters in stacks Is where I come from Buckles off a poverty drum Oh, my love trumpet soul Tell Gabriel To tell the captain Thank you baby You're my baby now
