Posh Traveling

I just could not leave the blog along.


Today is the birthday of Ian Fleming famous for writing the James Bond series. BUT. . .also famous for writing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. What would possess a man to write such diverse genres? I shouldn't question him. . .I like his writing in either genre.


But Ian did not consider that his beautiful, captivating stories would be put into such reknowned movies. Not only put on film. . .but in Chitty's case. . made into a musical. Yes I was , like the children in the movie when the "candy man" came to find them, enticed by the story, music and costumes of this wonderful motorcar trip. I have two two favorite characters in the movie. . .the "Child Catcher", and Grandpa Potts. My favorite song. . . .is one Grandpa Potts sings while. . .um. . . going to the Loo. Below are the lyrics (click on the title for the Mp3). . .once you read them you will understand why I have included them in my Travel Blog. Enjoy!




POSH

This is livin', this is style, this is elegance by the mile


Oh the posh posh traveling life,


the traveling life for me


First cabin and captain's table regal company


Whenever I'm bored I travel abroad but ever so properly


Port out, starboard home, posh with a capital P-O-S-H, posh


The hands that hold the scepters, every head that holds a crown


They'll always give their all for me they'll never let me down


I'm on my way to far away tah tah and toodle-oo


And fare thee well, and Bon Voyage arrivederci too


O the posh posh traveling life, the traveling life for me


First cabin and captain's table regal company


Pardon the dust of the upper crust--fetch us a cup of tea


Port out, starboard home, posh with a capital P-O-S-H, posh


In every foreign strand I land the royal trumpets toot me


The royal welcome mat is out


They 21 gun salute me


But monarchies are constantly commanding me to call


Last month I miffed (missed) the (a)


Mufti but you can't oblige them all


Oh the posh posh traveling life, the traveling life for me


Oh rumpetly tumpety didy didy dee dee dee dee dee


Oh the posh posh traveling life, the traveling life for me


First cabin and captain's table regal company


When I'm at the helm the world's my realm and I do it stylishly


Port out, starboard home, posh with a capital


P-O-S-HP-O-S-H, P-O-S-H...Posh.
