lyrics

In a cabin by the brook
Near the tiny village of Spumento
Lived an old retired cook
A pirate by his trade

And he looked to the sea
To his old ship 'Majesty'
And he lived by the shore
To feel more at home - he lived alone

A caller came to his door
To that tiny cabin near Spumento
His 'Majesty' needed him once more
So he left without delay

And the thoughts ran through his head
"Will I come back alive or dead?"
So he stepped onto the road
And left his land-locked home - goodbye Spumento!

And if you see him sailing
You'll notice from a mile
You'll see what he's been wanting
The chance to really smile

The cabin is quite now
Near that tiny village of Spumento
The townspeople wonder how
That came to be

And they go about their lives
Hats on Sunday, suit and ties
Did the pirate find his dream?
They just don't care - well, that's Spumento
