Hooray For Captain Spaulding - Groucho Marx

There’s something that I’d like to state

That he’s too modest to relate

The Captain is a moral man

Sometimes he finds it trying

This fact I’ll emphasize with stress:

I never take a drink unless

Somebody’s buying!

The Captain is a very moral man!

If he hears anything obscene

He’ll naturally repel it

I hate a dirty joke I do

Unless it’s told by someone whooo --

Knows how to tell it!

The Captain is a very moral man!

Hooray for Captain Spaulding

The African Explorer!

Did someone call me Schnorrer?

Hooray hooray hooray!

He went into the jungle

Where all the monkeys THROW nuts

If I stay here I’ll GO nuts

Hooray hooray hooray!

He put all his reliance

In courage and defiance

And risked his life for science!

Hey hey!

He is the only white man

Who covered every acre --

I think I’ll try and make her!

Hooray hooray hooray!

He put all his reliance

In courage and defiance

And risked his life for science

Hey hey!

Hooray for Captain Spaulding

The African explorer!

He brought his name undying fame

And that is why we say:

Hooray!

Hooray!

Hooray!

My friends, I am highly gratified at this

Magnificent display of effusion.

And I want you to know —
