lyrics

In a cabin by the brook near the tiny village of Spumento
Lived and old retired cook, a pirate by his trade
And he looked to the sea
To his old ship 'Majesty'
He lived by the shore
To feel more at home - he lived alone

A caller came to his door near that tiny village of Spumento
'Majesty' needed him once more so he left without delay
And the thoughts ran through his head
“Will I come back alive or dead?”
So he stepped onto the road
And left his land-locked home - Goodbye Spumento!

And if you see him sailing, you'll notice from a mile
You'll see what he's been wanting - the chance to
really smile!

The cabin is quiet now near that tiny village of Spumento
The townspeople wonder how that came to be
And they go about their lives
Hats on Sunday, suit and ties
Did the pirate find his dream?
They just don't care!
Well that's Spumento
