Twenty some odd years later
                     G
On his ship The Sea Slater
   Am                  F
He sailed into a mass of blubber
 
                 C
Gazing up to the sky
                G
stood a large walrus
            Am              F                 C
that was a hundred stories high, it meant no harm
 
C
The walrus was in a great deal of pain
    G
It suffered from a tusk with tooth decay
Am                                  F
Albert threw his anchor 'round it's tusk
                                            Am
with a little bit of pulling it was out by dusk
                              F
The walrus thanked Albert and sang, as he sailed away

Captain Albert Alexander
Am                       F
Friend to sea urchin and me
         C                 G

         Am          F
He'll go down in the sea
 
     G                      Am
At a ripe old age lightning struck from the sky
    G                        Am
and split Albert's vessel in two
    G                Am
One hundred men fled for their lives
    G                     Am
on rafts across the ocean blue
 
Am                   F
Albert stood at the stern of his ship
  Am                F
A giant octopus had him in it's grip
   Am                  F
A vortex of spiraling death below ripped
     Am *                    F *
and sharks and electric eels all made the trip
        Am
to see Albert
C                         F
sink to the bottom of the sea
 
Am                  F
Just before he went down
   Am                F
he called out to his crew
      Am             F
It's obvious that my time has come
     Am               F
I'll let this ending ensue
     Am                       F
I've led an exciting nautical life it would seem
            Am                   F
and there's no better end than a death by the sea
 
His crew sang

He'll go down in history
