Noël Coward - Red Peppers lyrics

Has Anybody Seen Our Ship? What shall we do with the drunken sailor? So the saying goes. We're not tight but we're none too bright Great Scott! I don't suppose! We've lost our way And we've lost our pay, And to make the thing complete We've been and gone and lost the bloomin' fleet! [Refrain 1] Has anybody seen our ship? The HMS Peculiar. We've been on shore For a month or more, And when we see the Captain we shall get 'what for'. Heave ho, me hearties, Sing Glory Hallelujah. A lady bold as she could be Pinched our whistles at 'The Golden Key'. Now we're in between the devil and the deep blue sea. Has anybody seen our ship? [Verse 2] What's to be done with the girls on shore Who lead our tars astray? What's to be done with the drinks galore That make them pa** away? We got wet ears From our first five beers- After that we lost control, And now we find we're up the blinking pole! [Refrain 2] Has anybody seen our ship? The HMS Disgusting. We've three guns aft And another one fore And they've promised us a funnel for the next world war. Heave ho, me hearties, The quarterdeck needs dusting. We had a binge last Christmas year, Nice plum puddings and a round of beer, But the Captain pulled his cracker and we cried, 'Oh dear!' Has anybody seen our ship? [Refrain 3] Has anybody seen our ship? The HMS Suggestive. She sailed away Across the bay, And we haven't had a smell of her since New Year's Day. Heave ho, me hearties, We're getting rather restive. We've pooled our money, spent the lot, The world forgetting by the world forgot. Now we haven't got a penny for the you know what! Has anybody seen our anybody seen our anybody seen our ship? Men About Town We're two chaps who find it thrilling To do the k**ing We're always willing To give the girls a treat Just a drink at the Ritz Call it double or quits Then we fell the world is at our feet Top hats White spats Look devine on us There's a shine on us Get a line on us When we come your way 'Gad! Eleven o'clock Let's pop in to the Troc 'ere we start the business of the day As we stroll down Picc – Piccadilly refrain 2 As we stroll down Picc – Piccadilly In the bright morning air All the girls stand and stare We're so nonchalant And frightfully debonair As we chat to Rose, Maud or Lilly You should see the way their boyfriends frown For they know without a doubt That their lucks right out Up against a couple of men about town. As we stroll down Picc – Piccadilly All the girls say, 'Who's here? Put your hats straight, my dear, For its Marmaduke and Percy Vere de Vere.' As we doff hats Each pretty filly gives a wink at us and then looks down For they long with all their might For a red hot night When the see a couple of men about town
