Captain Custard 1950 'Road To Singapore'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 10 Jun 2002

A crowd has stormed the music hall,
will someone please put in a riot call!
Where's Captain Custard?
They're milling left, they're swarming right;
it always happens when they have big night.
Where's Captain Custard?

There's Captain Custard,
undaunted and unflustered,
with his troops officially mustered.
No captain is greater
in any theatre in town.
Quick, can't you see, sir?
Oh, goodness gracious me, sir!
Will you look at Company 'B', sir;
I think they're retreating
this big night is beating them down.
He'll halt their advances
with firm and fearless glances;
they shall not pass the centre aisle,
he's armed to the teeth
with a winsome smile,
Brave Captain Custard,
undaunted and unflustered,
while around him women are clustered.
he knows all their wishes,
they're waiting for dishes;
it's not his uniform spic and spruce
'cause he looks too much
like a Charlotte Russe.
Brave Captain Custard,
Dear Captain Custard.
