Lyrics
[Intro]
[Upbeat, Swing rhythm, Lively jazz vibe, Mocking tone]
[Background Noise: chatter, murmuring]
[Background Comments: sarcastic, under breath]
"There he goes losing them again..."
"Where did they sail off to this time, Captain?"
[Piano Riff finishes]
[Verse 1]
[Male Vocal, Playful voice]
Captain, where’s your cargo? (Where’s your fleet?)
[Side Comments: under breath] (Oh, there it goes again...)
Every day they vanish, (Slipping free!)
[Syncopated Brass Section]
Did they sink below the waves, (Or drift with the breeze?)
[Background Comments: exaggerated reactions]
"Whoops! Guess they’re gone for good!"
Or did you lose your way, (Lost among the seas?)
[Sax Fill, Syncopated]
[Chorus]
[Brass Section, Upbeat, Swing]
[Male Vocal, Mocking tone]
Gone without a trace, (Slipped into the blue)
[Background Comments: sarcastic]
"Search all night and day, (Not a single clue!)"
Ships lost in the dark, (Drifting out of view)
[Side Comments: exaggerated diction] (Oops! Somebody call a babysitter!)
And from below the deep, (Shadows pulling through!)
[Brass Hits, Strong Syncopation]
[Verse 2]
[Male Vocal, Sarcastic voice]
Sending out your signals, (SOS in vain)
[Background Dialogue: arguing]
"Is he even listening to us?"
But there’s no response, (Just echoes of your pain)
[Side Comments: under breath] (He’s losing it...)
You scan the water’s surface, (Hoping for a sight)
[Syncopated Brass Section]
But all you’re searching for, (Vanished in the night!)
[Sax Solo, Quick and Playful]
[Chorus]
[Brass Section, Swing, Fast tempo]
[Male Vocal, Playful voice]
Gone without a trace, (Slipped into the blue)
[Background Comments: sarcastic]
"Such a responsible captain, isn’t it true?"
Ships lost in the dark, (Drifting out of view)
[Side Comments: playful voice] (Where did they go, Captain?!)
And from below the deep, (Shadows pulling through!)
[Brass Hits, Strong Syncopation]
[Bridge]
[Sax Solo, Jazzy]
[Male Vocal, Mocking tone]
You search the ocean wide, (But more I hide)
Your fleet’s in pieces, (Scattered by the tide)
[Side Comments: under breath] (Good luck with that!)
I’m the shadow lurking, (Won’t be denied!)
Try to catch me now, (But you can’t decide!)
[Syncopated Brass Section]
[Chorus]
[Brass Section, Fast tempo, Swing]
[Male Vocal, Exaggerated diction]
Gone without a trace, (Slipped into the blue)
[Background Comments: sarcastic]
"Guess they’ve decided to just elude you!"
Ships lost in the dark, (Drifting out of view)
[Side Comments: playful voice] (Where did they go, Captain?!)
And from below the deep, (Shadows pulling through!)
[Sax Fill]
[Outro]
[Piano Riff, Light]
[Background Noise: fading laughter]
[Background Comments: sarcastic, under breath]
"Another day, another ship slipped through..."
[Piano Riff finishes]
