Chorus
I’ve got the guy who used to be
My Captain working for me
He wanted work so I made him a clerk
In my father’s factory
And bye and bye I’m gonna have him
Wrapped in work up to his brow
I make him open the office ev’ry morning at eight
I come around about four hours late
Everything comes to those who wait
I’ve got my Captain working for me now
