It was bright and early morning
But it could have been afternoon
The scenere was savoury and the lemons neat and dry
You made your mark in the Ottawa Park
But the stakes were never so high
It was bright and early morning
But it could have been afternoon
I’ve lost command
I’ve lost command
I’ve lost command
I’ve lost command!
The joy was always painful
But the pain was so much fun
Eating up and spitting it out in a ropeless tug of war
You wore black and tan on the rights of man
But it never got you far
The joy was always painful
But the pain was so much fun
I’ve lost command
I’ve lost command
I’ve lost command
I’ve lost command!
There was continental breakfast
On East Pacific time
Ham & Cheese and a sprinkle of corn on the menu every day
You changed your tack when the jib-sheet slacked
And explored the Milky Way
There was continental breakfast
On East Pacific time
I’ve lost command
I’ve lost command
I’ve lost command
I’ve lost command!
I’ve got command
I’m in command
I’ve got command
I’m in command.
