The Captain (smoke alarm)

In every building, in every home

I sit and wait all alone.

You walk right past me every day

never once do you look my way.

You get so angry you yell at me

each time I try to communicate my needs.

I am here to help and you will see

when things go ablaze, you'll depend on me.

I'll speak to you and say it loud

Wake up, wake up! Please get out!

You'll leave me again, but I won't flip.

Cause a captain always goes down with his ship.
