Captain Platonic lyrics
by Vinny Marchi
[Intro]
The only reason that men say "Women and children first"
Like when a ship sinks
It's so that they can hang back
And kiss each other
"Nuh uh, no!"
[Verse 1]
The cap goes down with their ship they say
(The cap goes down with their ship they say)
The only way he's goin' down today
(The only way he's goin' down today)
And as the water came rushing through
(And as the water came rushing through)
He bid his wife a last adieu
And never ever did touch his crew
[Pre-Chorus]
So temper your rumor
You shan't listen to her
The cap going way down
'Sgot one thing to say now
"Nuh uh, no, stop! It's not truе"
[Chorus]
Here comes Captain Platonic (Tonic)
And if hе could get some
He still wouldn't want it, no
Here comes Captain Platonic (Tonic)
And he'll never let them say
He's in the closet, no
[Verse 2]
But rumors spread that his love had strayed
(But rumors spread that his love had strayed)
To his crew his affection paid
(To his crew his affection paid)
But never was there a larger lie
(But never was there a larger lie)
With his rock solid alibi
So shall we all let this gossip die
[Refrain]
He stayed on his vessel, his mates reminisce
He started to tremble and give them a ki... beer
[Bridge]
Promise me that you'll survive
No matter what happens
[Chorus]
Here comes Captain Platonic (Tonic)
And if he could get some
He still wouldn't want it, no
Here comes Captain Platonic (Tonic)
And he'll never let them say
He's in the closet, no
Oh-ooh
He still wouldn't want it, no
Oh-ooh
He still wouldn't want it
[Refrain]
He stayed on his vessel, his mates reminisce
He started to tremble and give them a ki...
