《Captain》的詞曲是由瑪莉·萊德曼、Jerry Leiber和Mike Stoller所撰寫。以下是其歌詞：
Captain, keep your eyes on the way,
Take me where the water is deep and the waves don't break.
I'm a-riding on your high wooden wheel,
Oh, captain, take me to the land of real.
Chorus:
Oh, I want to go to the land of real,
Where the sky is so high,
And the air is so clear,
Oh, I want to go there,
And I'm riding on the captain's wheel.
Oh, you're a dreamer with a way to steer,
And you're always looking for the sunny weather.
You're a dream of a ship that never sails,
Oh, captain, take me to the land of real.
Chorus:
Just take my hand and pull me through the night,
The winds and the waves they all don't matter, let me float and drift.
Take me out there where everything is right,
Oh, captain, take me to the land of real.
Chorus:
Out there in the distance, I can see it now,
A golden city with a sky so blue and low.
Oh, captain, take me to that land of yours,
Oh, captain, take me to the land of real.
Chorus:
(Bridge)
And when I touch that golden sand at low tide,
Oh, I'll plant my flag and claim my own small piece of all this wondrous land.
And I'll make a new song to sing each day.
Oh, captain, take me to the land of real.
Chorus:
(Outro)
Oh, captain, take me to the land of real.
