Disagreeable Man
Dick:
If you'll give me your attention,
I will tell you who I am.
I'm the bloke on board monopolizing Every little scam.
You want a special service?
I provide it in a flash.
My suppliers do me credit,
Though my terms are strictly cash.
If you're after something rare,
Exotic perfume, grog or clothes
I'll get them through the customs,
But you'll pay me through the nose.
So I have learned to turn a little profit
If I can
But everybody says
I'm such a disagreeable man.
And I can't think why.
Boys:
He can't think why
He sold his mother last July
Dick: (aside) Well she was old. (end aside)
I'm humble and ignoble
Even though I run the show.
You can ask me any question
And I'll tell you where to go
So far I own the poop deck.
And the Mizzen mask as well
While the ship will rock to my own clock
Cause I just bought the bell
I'm a businessman, a banker
An interesting gent
I've got everybody's interest
Boys:
Yeah, 35%
Dick:
And though I look like Captain Hook,
I'm sweet as Peter Pan,
But everybody says
I'm such a disagreeable man,
And I can't think why.
Boys:
He can't think why
Just stick around and you'll know why
Dick:
My casino's open pay days
If you want to place a bet
You can double all your earnings
Playing Deadeye Dick's roulette.
There's poker or the shell game,
Or sometimes craps is nice
Band Leader:
What??
Dick: It's a game of chance - like your conducting!
I'm positively loaded,
But then so too are the dice
You sometimes win,
You sometimes lose
That's how the number falls
You've got to take your chances
Cause I've got you by the ....
All the crew arc in my debt
Even Captain Corcoran.
Yet everybody says
I'm such a disagreeable man,
And I can't think why.
Boys:
He can't think why
He can't think why
I can't think why
Dick:
I can’t think why
