Silja Line

I left my captain's hat at home 
  There's no pirates I can dodge or islands to explore 
  Just some plain folks who don't mind 
  The sound of screaming children and drinking too much vodka the line 

  And oh I sing 
  No way to change what's been said and done 
  I've set my own course and I'll try to carry on 

  On my days off from my ship 
  I sail the windy streets of Stockholm 
  Captain of the great ? 
  It's first breakfast with the king 
  Recount the month's adventures and divvy up the treasures that I bring 

  But oh I sing 
  No way to change what's been said and done 
  I've set my own course and I'll try to carry on 
  So back and forth I go on this Baltic sea 
  Waiting for a whale to come and rescue me hey, hey 
  and I hear them sing: 
  oh let's all toast to the ones we love 
  to old friends and to Viking blood 
  Oh we sing all night to the brig Svea 
  And I'll just bide my time 
  Steer the Silja line
