Captain Sensible

[spat]

was listening to Classic Gold earlier and heard Captain Sensible singing Happy Talk
Now toward the end it sound very much like he sings
" Talk about the boy saying to the girl
Golly baby I'm a lucky c**t"
in the official lyrics the word is "cause" and i seen on a captain sensible lyrics page "cus"
but there definitely sounds like there is a "t" added on at the end
does anyone know for sure?
thanks

Talk about a boy sayin' to the girl:
Golly, Baby ! I'm a lucky cuss !
Talk about a girl sayin' to the boy:
'You and me are lucky to be us !"

It's from South Pacific, so it's American slang

cheers for the answers guys but on the Captain Sensible version it really did sound like he slipped in the "c" word instead
will need to limewire it and listen again

He didn't - he'd loose out on a shed-load of performing rpyalties, and my mate Cap is too clever for that!

Strangely enough he even mentions the royalties from Happy Talk (or the lack of them)!

B] Happy Talk,(He grimaces) did you make a lot of money from that?
[C] (Sounding ashamed) Yeah I did actually yeah, I must admit though, I've spent it. But you know I was kicked out of The Damned and I didn't rejoin them for about ten years. Except for one tour where I was back as a guest in 1991. Anyway I had some very, very bleak years. In '89 I ran a small label called Deltic Records and to be quite honest I had bailiffs at the door. I could hardly afford to feed and clothe my kids. I had no income coming from anywhere. I don't get any royalties because for certain reasons certain old labels don't pay me royalties. I'm still fighting to get them now. Certain members of The Damned who aren't in the band at the moment, say they own the rights. They collect the money and don't pay me. So it's all a little bit grim really and I don't really want to go over it cause it's so tedious. But let's just put it this way, there are some people who are attracted to the showbiz lifestyle for the fact that it's easy to get your fingers in the till and make easy money. Me I'm an idealistic guitar player who wants to change the world and that's why it's so easy to rip me off.
