"Captain Bying with a Y" is a song from The Wiggles' Big Ballet Day! album and video. It uses a combination of the traditional "Captain Byng" polka and "Sailor's Hornpipe" as the backing track.
Lyrics[]
Emma: I'm the captain of a big steamboat
My sailors keep the boat afloat
I wear a jacket and a captain's hat
And my seafaring dog, his name is Jack
Wiggles: She's the captain of a big steamboat
The sailors keep the boat afloat
She wears a jacket and a captain's hat
And her seafaring dog, his name is Jack
Emma: Sometimes when I'm out at sea
The stormy weather bothers me
I put on a muffler and a hat
Then I'll cuddle my dog, Jack
Wiggles: Sometimes when she's out at sea
The stormy weather bothers she
She puts on a muffler and a hat
Then she'll cuddle my dog, Jack
(Instrumental on part 2 in D)
