We love Captain Obvious! | Funny song for kids by David Thurlow

Look there
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Captain Obvious
 
Trees have leaves
Birds can fly
Legs have knees
Rocks don’t cry
Thanks Captain Obvious
 
Captain Obvious saves the world
Captain Obvious helps every boy and girl
Captain Obvious saves the day
He helps you out when you don’t know what to say
 
Kids like food
One plus one equals two
Water is good
Plastic is not wood
Thanks Captain Obvious
 
Captain Obvious saves the world
Captain Obvious helps every boy and girl
Captain Obvious saves the day
He helps you out when you don’t know what to say
 
We love Captain Obvious
We love Captain Obvious
We love Captain Obvious
We love
 
Captain Obvious saves the world
Captain Obvious helps every boy and girl
Captain Obvious saves the day
He helps you out when you don’t know what to say
 
We love Captain Obvious
We love Captain Obvious
We love Captain Obvious
