Underwater in a submarine

He smokes a cigarette and blows th' steam

He navigates though th' deep blue sea

All by his lonesome-no company


Mainwaring in his submarine


Rescued a lady from a sinking ship

Then let her go on an iceberg tip

Ferried a family from an island head

Brought them to cannibals on a beach instead


Mainwaring in his submarine


His eyes are hollow just like his cheeks

His faded uniform not washed in weeks

He had a daughter to call his own

Poseidon's water took her long ago


Mainwaring in his submarine


Out the portal late at night

A sailor might see a wat'ry light

And if ‘e sees it he'll let it be

It's the lonely Captain in his submarine


Mainwaring, where's your queen?
