Thread Name: Origins: There Was a Bold Fisherman (Bogart??)
Subject: There Was A Bold Fisherman
Great, I've got the first 5 words. My friends the Frious used to sing this in its entirety. I believe it is what Bogart sort-of-sang in The African Queen. The song goes somewhat like this: There was a bold fisherman who sailed out from SOMETHING, He slew the wild codfish and the bold mackarel. When he got to SOMETHING-OH, the stormy winds began to blow. The little boat went wibblewobble.. over- board went he... singing twinkadiddleum, etc etc. Except I don't know ALL the words, just some or most of them. Can anyone help? If so, just send me an email, if you would, at Thanks. THis has been driving me mad for years.
