lyrics

Captain Tuesday waits on the dock for his ship to come
He knows that it's coming any day now
Two seagulls fly by and try to steal his jacket
Two seagulls get scared because they didn't know who he was
When he turned around, they flew away, because
You don't mess with Captain Tuesday

Lola my love, I'm on my way
Just a few more days before
I'm on the shore and I am yours
It's what I dream of

Lola my love, keep me around
And if you've found some other boy
I wish you joy
And I'd never want to see you again

But, Lola, my love, I'm on my way
Just a few more days before
I'm on the shore and I am yours
It's what I dream of

Come pretty girls and dance to my song
Hey la, hey la-ya
And if your lad won't dance along,
Don't let him hold you back
Just find another lass
Hey la, hey ya-la-ya

Go in a circle, one, two, three
Hey la, hey la-ya
Save a little kiss on the cheek for me
And if your lad gets sore,
I'll give it back once more
Hey la, hey ya-la-ya

Come pretty ones and dance my way
Hey la, hey la-ya
And if your lad thinks that you've strayed
I'll take him for a whirl,
He'll want to be my girl
Hey la, hey ya-la-ya

Come pretty girls and dance to my song
Hey la, hey la-ya
And if your lad won't dance along,
Don't let him hold you back
Just find another lass
Hey la, hey ya-la-ya

Captain Tuesday waits on the dock for his ship to come
He can't go to sleep because it's day now
Two more years go by, and still he stands there waiting
Two more years go by, but he can't give up looking yet
He knows that it's coming any day now so he stays.

Maybe tomorrow, Captain Tuesday
