I've Got My Captain Working for Me Now

歌詞

Johnny Jones was a first class private In the army last year Now he's back to business in his father's place Sunday night I saw him with a smiling face When I asked why he felt so happy Johnny chuckled with glee He winked his eye and made this reply: "Something wonderful has happened to me" I've got the guy who used to be my Captain working for me He wanted work so I made him a clerk in my father's factory And bye and bye I'm gonna have him wrapped in work up to his brow I make him open the office ev'ry morning at eight I come around about four hours late Ev'rything comes to those who wait I've got my Captain working for me now He's not worth what I have to pay him But I'll never complain I've agreed to give him fifty dollars per It's worth twice as much to hear him call me "Sir" While I sit in my cosy office He's outside working hard Out in the hall at my beck and call With a feather duster standing on guard I've got the guy who used to be my Captain working for me He wanted work so I made him a clerk in my father's factory And bye and bye I'm gonna have him wrapped in work up to his brow When I come into the office he gets up on his feet Stands at attention and gives me his seat Who was it said "revenge is sweet"
