Lyric

Deep voice talkin’

Party people listen

In a tiny harbor town

Lived a man in navy brown

Boots were loud on cobblestone

Never walked a street alone

Name was Captain Clementine

Eyes like salty turpentine

Told his tales in every bar

Said he sailed around the stars

Cap-tain Cle-men-tine

(Stomp stomp) one more time

Spin that story

Twist that line

Dance it out

Old Clementine

Cap-tain Cle-men-tine

Raise that glass

Fall in line

Every rumor ages fine

Party with the Clementine

Swore he stole a golden ship

With a teacup and a sip

Traded thunder for a kiss

Lost his heart

Kept the list

Every night the legends grew

Some were fake

A few were true

Did it matter? People yelled

To his every word they fell

Cap-tain Cle-men-tine

(Stomp stomp) one more time

Spin that story

Twist that line

Dance it out

Old Clementine

Cap-tain Cle-men-tine

Raise that glass

Fall in line

Every rumor ages fine

Party with the Clementine

Breakdown: bass and claps

Spoken call-and-response]

Who saw pirates? (I saw pirates!)

Who saw whales? (Bigger tales!)

Who saw mermaids? (Saw ‘em twice!)

Who believes him? (Roll the dice!)

Cap-tain Cle-men-tine

(Stomp stomp) one more time

Spin that story

Twist that line

Dance it out

Old Clementine

Cap-tain Cle-men-tine

Raise that glass

Fall in line

Every rumor ages fine

Party with the Clementine (Hey!)
