Captain Scarlet


Let us sing in praise of Captain Scarlet
A great hero of yore
The man who beat the Mysterons in 1964
He beat those bloomin' Mysterons
Though crafty they did be
And he caused their spaceships to explode
And fall into the sea

Now of all the superheroes bold
Captain Scarlet was a good 'un
He was a marvel to behold
Though his acting it was wooden
He saved the planet many times
From dark and evil things
And he moved so smooth and gracefully
You could hardly see the strings

Hymns Ancient and Stupid Vol.1

Very moving in a stiff and ungainly sort of way.
