Lyrics
"PC":
YOUR NAVIGATOR, I HAVE COME
FROM ENGLAND'S PLEASANT LAND.
I'LL TELL YOU HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE,
I'M A MAN OF SUBSTANCE GRAND!
MY BOAT'S THE BIGGEST IN THE GROUP --
TO YOU I CONDESCEND TO STOOP --
MY INTELLECT LIKEWISE IS SO
IMMENSE, THERE'S LITTLE I DON'T KNOW.
I AM YOUR NAVIGATOR BOLD,
FROM ENGLAND'S PLEASANT LAND.
YOU'LL NOW ALL DO JUST WHAT YOU'RE TOLD
BY A MAN OF SUBSTANCE GRAND!
"Gilligan", Tadpole:
GOOD CAPTAIN NEAL, BEWARE, BEWARE,
AND OF THIS NUTCASE TAKE GREAT CARE.
A CIRCLE WAVE AROUND HIM THRICE!
YOUR WORDS WILL NOT SUFFICE.
"PC":
THIS PAIR OF PUPPETEERS IGNORE,
THEY'LL ONLY CAUSE YOU PAIN.
SUCH LAKEBOUND LOWLIFE I DEPLORE,
AND TREAT THEM WITH DISDAIN.
THEY'VE STRUNG YOU HAND AND FOOT, YOU KNOW.
THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE BECAUSE YOU'RE SO SLOW!
AND YOUR SUBMISSIVENESS THEY SEAL
BY SETTING ON YOU CAPTAIN NEAL!
SET YOUR COURSE BY ME ONCE MORE,
YOU'VE MUCH THEREBY TO GAIN,
AND LAKEBOUND PUPPETEERS IGNORE,
THEY'LL ONLY CAUSE YOU PAIN.
Katysails, Lady Sailor:
OH P.C. PURE, OUR NAVIGATURE,
WE'RE SMITTEN BY YOUR MANNER SURE,
WE'LL FOLLOW YOU IF HERE YOU'LL STAY
AND CHASE NEAL AWAY!
Chorus:
NOW HERE'S AN EASY COURSE TO TAKE,
WE'LL FOLLOW P.C.'S CALL,
AND SAILING BLINDLY IN HIS WAKE,
WE NEEDN'T THINK AT ALL.
CAPTAIN NEAL! CAPTAIN NEAL!
AWAY FROM YOUR COURSE WE WHEEL.
WE'LL HEAD OFF TO AN ISLAND COOL
TO FLEE YOUR IRON RULE!
IT'S SUCH AN EASY COURSE TO TAKE,
WE'RE CAUGHT IN PC'S THRALL;
AND DRIFTING LIFELESS IN HIS WAKE,
WE NEEDN'T THINK AT ALL!
"Gilligan", Tadpole:
NEAL, NEAL, COME SET THEM FREE,
SHOW THEM TRUE LIBERTY.
PC'S IN PLAY,
AND THEY'RE ASTRAY!
"P.C.":
MY WICKED PLOT IS BEARING FRUIT,
EXACTLY AS I PLANNED.
THERE'S REASON FOR PURSUING SUIT
(IT'S REALLY UNDERHAND)!
FOR KATYSAILS I'M CONSUMED WITH LUST --
I FLASH MY FORTY-FOOTER, THUS --
BUT CAPTAIN NEAL GOT IN THE WAY,
THAT'S WHY I'VE HIJACKED 'NET-TODAY!!!!
(with Chorus and women):
YOUR NAVIGATOR BOLD AM I,
BY CAPTAIN NEAL UNCOWED;
AND WELCOME TO MY FOLD, SEZ I,
OF BONHOMEE UNBOWED.
FROM CAPTAIN NEAL YOU'RE ALL SET FREE,
FORGET ABOUT ABILITY,
WE'LL PRAISE EACH OTHER LIBERALLY,
IN TRUE GENTILITY!
"P.C.":
AND BY THE WAY, YOU'LL SEARCH IN VAIN
FOR NEAL ALONG THE COAST.
I'VE PACKED HIM OFF TO CUBA
VIA SURFACE PARCEL POST!
