Captain Chinno: A little doggrel to lighten your day



The women call him Captain Chinno,
As he drinks the frothy beano
So much that it's most obsceno.
If you know just what I meano.

Why not try a cup of tea?
Asked a Brit quite casually.
No sir, said the Captain Chinno
Tea will never do you see-o

I am all Italiano
Sing sweet songs and play piano
Roll my r's like Valentino
Tea would never do for mio.

Of course grappa would be fine,
Drunk around the evening time.
After pasta and dessert,
A little grappa wouldn't hurt.

But, when it comes to my buongirono,
I crave once more the cafe beano
And perhaps a brandy fino
Said the gallant Captain Chinno.
