Captain Key
Sailed the windy sea
He knew his ship from stern to tip
And named her the Annalee

The strong young crew
Each one loyal and true
They loved to glide on the oceans wide
Nantucket to Tuvalu

But a storm came wide and high
It swallowed the western sky
Never before had the wind blown more
And waves did terrify

It swirled around like a thousand snakes
With lighting flash and thunder shakes
Blotted out the sun as it grew
Struck fear in the hearts of the stout young crew

Captain, Captain 
What can we do?
It's a monster storm churning black and blue
We'll be thrown to the bottom, we'll never get through
Captain, Captain what can we do?

Said Captain Key
Young sailors listen to me
We'll dance with the wind
Like our own best friend
We'll roll atop the waves
We'll trim our sails 
To caress the gales
Keep your heads clear and be brave
Keep your heads clear and be brave

Up the masts tie the jib down fast
Let every sail unfurl
Fasten the lot with a bowline knot
I'll give the wheel a mighty whirl

Every sail was tight, cut just right
Every knot a perfect hitch
But the storm didn't tire and waves swelled higher 
And the Annalee started to pitch

Then a cheer rang high and the first mate cried 
"Look off the starboard bow!
We're up in the sky, Captain's made us fly
We've pulled along side a cloud!"

Captain Key
We've saved the Annalee
Sailing this way we'll be home in a day
With our friends and families 

Cause we danced with the wind
Like our own best friend
We rode atop the waves
We trimmed our sails 
To caress the gales
Our heads were clear and heart were brave
Our heads were clear and heart were brave
Our heads were clear and heart we were brave
