Thread Name: Lyr Req: song from Captains Courageous
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: song from Captains Courageous
Grew up watching this movie and loved it. Just showed it to my husband and little girl a bit ago. All I could catch was:
...he who had a daughter
Oh, what a terrible man Oh, what a terrible man
Speaking in his native lingo He said, "Marry Bingo-Bingo"
Oh, what a terrible man Oh, what a terrible man
He will bring you beans and sorrows Yes, I know about his morals
Oh, what a terrible man Oh, what a terrible man
Bingo-Bingo came to woo her Brought a lot of presents to her
Oh, what a terrible man Oh, what a terrible man

Then later Manuel sings:
Capt. Cushman is a sailor But he should have been a tailor
Oh, what a terrible man Oh, what a terrible man

And Harvey:
Cushman might have been a grocer But a first-class seaman, no, sir
Oh, what a terrible man Oh, what a terrible man

Hope that helps!
