Will you be my ship's captain
someone needs to take command
the first mate is a decent sort
but cannot give the right orders
Will you help be my navigator
and plot the right course for the vessel
the helmsman is good enough at his job
but he cannot use a map very well
The ship takes good enough care of itself
the cannon and mast are in reasonable order
you don't need to worry about maintenance
as the ratings will take care of that
Will you be my ship's captain
someone needs to take command
get us to your home port
where we can unload our cargo safely
