No. 13 - Song - Reginald and Chorus - "Filibuster Brown"
| Reginald: | When I was born my birthmark
was a pirate flag of black, But nobody's ever seen it, for I wear it on my back! I used to sweep the nurs'ry bath, and the soap-dish brig I sank, And many a bold Brown Windsor I have made to walk the plank! |
| Men: | And many a bold Brown Windsor
he's made to walk the plank! And many a bold Brown Windsor he's made to walk the plank! |
| Reginald: | For I'm wiry, fiery Fili-Filibuster Brown, The demon of the Dover Strait, The terror of Canning Town! The captains all quake, they get in a fluster, They are white as chalk if you should talk of Brown. |
| Ladies: | Of Mister Brown, |
| Reginald: | Of Mister Brown, of Reggie Brown, the filibuster, that's me! |
| Ensemble: | Oh, have mercy, please
have mercy, Mister Brown! For you're such a filibuster, You are, you are! The captains all quake, they get in a fluster, When the hear the name of Filibuster, Filibuster Brown. |
| Reginald: | You've heard about the Dreadnought,
she's a tidy little bark, But she's been to call on Davy Jones, tho' the papers kept it dark. I met her and I sank her once right off the Spanish main, So they sent out Jacky Fisher just to fish her up again! |
| Men: | So we sent out Jacky Fisher
to fish her up again! So we sent out Jacky Fisher to fish her up again! |
| Reginald: | For I'm dashing, smashing Fili-Filibuster Brown! I stuck a boat-hook into her, and somehow she went right down! She lost not a man from all of her muster, For I sav'd the lot, great Percy Scott! I'm Brown. |
| Ladies: | I'm Mister Brown, |
| Reginald: | I'm Mister Brown, I'm Reggie Brown, the filibuster, that's me! |
| Ensemble: | Oh, have mercy, please
have mercy, Mister Brown! For you're such a filibuster, You are, you are! The captains all quake, they get in a fluster, When the hear the name of Filibuster, Filibuster Brown. |
| Reginald: | All round the briny British coast
my name's a cause for fear, And I've got a Long Tom gun as shoots the length of Southend pier! I made a raid on Brighton beach, it was a great success, And I captured fifteen hundred girls in summer bathing dress. |
| Men: | And he captured fifteen hundred girls
in summer bathing dress. And he captured fifteen hundred girls in summer bathing dress. |
| Reginald: | But I'm slender, tender Fili-Filibuster Brown, They looted all I had on board and swam back to Brighton Town! I couldn't rob them of even a duster, For they didn't wear enough to spare for Brown. |
| Ladies: | For Mister Brown, |
| Reginald: | For Mister Brown, for Reggie Brown, the filibuster, that's me! |
| Ensemble: | Oh, have mercy, please
have mercy, Mister Brown! For you're such a filibuster, You are, you are! The captains all quake, they get in a fluster, When the hear the name of Filibuster, Filibuster Brown. |
