Posh! 1968 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 17 Dec 2002

This is living! This is style!
This is elegance by the mile!

Oh, the Posh, Posh, travelling life;
the travelling life for me;
first cabin and captain's table;
regal company.
Whenever I'm bored,
I travel abroad;
but ever so properly:
Port out! Starboard home!
Posh with a capital "P."

Posh! with a capital P.O.S.H.
Posh!

The hands that hold the scepters;
ev'ry hand that holds a crown;
they always give their all for me;
they never let me down.
I'm on my way to far away.
Ta ta! And toodleoo!
And fare thee well!
And bon voyage!
Arrivederci too!

Oh, the Posh, Posh, travelling life;
the travelling life for me;
first cabin and captain's table;
regal company.
Pardon the dust of the upper crust
and fetch us a cup of tea:
Port out! Starboard home!
Posh with a capital "P."

Posh! with a capital P.O.S.H.
Posh!

In ev'ry foreign strand I land,
the royal trumpets toot me.
The royal welcome mat is out;
they twentyone gun salute me!
But monarchies are constantly
commanding me to call!
Last month I miffed the Mufti!
Well, one can't oblige them all!

Oh, the Posh, Posh, travelling life;
the travelling life for me;
first cabin and captain's table;
regal company.
Pardon the dust of the upper crust
and fetch us a cup of tea:
Port out! Starboard home!
Posh with a capital "P."
