[00:06.48]Act I
[00:13.34]Well do you get the itching to
[00:18.98]Trek about the latitudes?
[00:21.62]You do?
[00:23.35]Well, likely you're a chip off old Sir Rugglesby
[00:29.86]Oh, he was quite the sporting sort
[00:33.11]Behind his cup of tea he'd snort,
[00:36.35]"I'll wager on the line
[00:40.26]Ten thousand pounds and five
[00:43.33]I'm the only man who'll ever get to hell and come back alive."
[00:53.88]Act II
[01:01.44]Now in the fall of '49
[01:03.69]He skipped across the seven brine
[01:07.32]This time looking for a berth in naval history
[01:14.25]"Twas never heard nor seen again
[01:18.48]Officially presumed as dead
[01:21.36]But the words he left behind
[01:24.83]Still echo through my mind:
[01:28.33]"I'm the only man who'll ever get to hell and come back alive."
[01:35.98]He's the only man who'd ever get to hell and come back alive.
[01:48.35]So off he went around the world...
[01:54.35]Intermission
[01:58.87]Act III
[02:05.42]Then one night while tripping down the English coast
[02:10.21]The moon was whiter than a ghost almost
[02:13.81]When I heard a voice yell through a megaphone
[02:19.14]And thereupon the midnight sea
[02:24.26]A signal lamp signaled me
[02:27.22]I could feel my blood run cold
[02:30.02]As the message did decode:
[02:33.13]"I'm the only man who'll ever get to hell and come back alive."
[02:41.21]Well who else could it be
[02:44.57]But good old Rugglesby?
[02:48.32]He's the only man who'd ever get to hell and come back alive.
[02:54.03]Yes he's the only man (he's the only one)
[02:58.53]Who's ever gone and been (who's been and gone)
[03:02.58]To hell and come back
[03:04.35]Hell and come
[03:06.09]To hell and come back alive.
[03:10.54]The End
