Jimmy Buffett
The Handiest Frenchman In The Caribbean
[Verse 1: Ensemble]
Hippolyte, Hippolyte Lamartine
Handiest Frenchman in the Caribbean
Got the Gull Reef Club sparkling and clean
Bravo bon travou Mr. Martine

Who patched the hole in the cistern wall
(Hippolyte!)
Who solved my problems one and all
(Hippolyte!)
A genie in a bottle twenty feet tall
Hippolyte, Hippolyte Lamartine

How come my host is sitting pretty (Hippolyte!)
A cistern full of water and shekels in the kitty (Hippolyte!)
A million miles away from nasty New York City

Hippolyte, Hippolyte Lamartine
Hippolyte, Hippolyte Lamartine
Hippolyte, Hippolyte Lamartine
Get back to work
Or he'll chop you like sardines

Merci Hippolyte
Lamartine
