I've Got My Captain Working For Me Now

[1st verse:]

Johnny Jones was a first class private

In the army last year

Now he's back to bus'ness 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"

[chorus:]

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

[2nd verse:]

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

[2nd chorus:]

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"
