Jimmy Buffett - The Handiest Frenchmen In The Caribbean lyrics

Your rating:

By Jimmy Buffett, 1997 

The Gull Reef Club's former handyman, Hippolyte Lamartine, could fix everything and keep the place running no matter what. Sheila knows Hippolyte, and she gets him to come back and take over. Hippolyte is solving all problems and things are looking up, so Norman sings this jolly song about his wonderful handyman. Then it turns out that Hippolyte is a homicidal maniac, which creates difficulties.



Ensemble 

Hippolyte, Hippolyte Lamartine 

Handiest Frenchman in the Caribbean 

Got the Gull Reef Club sparkling and clean 

Bravo bon travou Mr. Martine 



Who patch 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 mine host is sitting pretty 

A cistern full of water and shekels in the kitty 

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
