The captain of the ship has been desperately seeking star wattage to entertain his passengers. When he hears that the FBI’s Most Wanted (or at least a man misidentified as him) is on board, the captain seizes the opportunity and makes him a guest of honor.
[CAPTAIN]
Tonight there's going to be some fun
[PASSENGERS]
Some fun-o! Some fun-o!
[CAPTAIN]
For Public Enemy Number One
[PASSENGERS]
Public Enemy Number One-o!
[PURSER]
Our gallant captain has told the staff
[PASSENGERS]
The staff-o! The staff-o!
[PURSER]
It's time for killing the fatted calf
As he's throwing a party on behalf
Of Public Enemy Number One
[PASSENGERS]
Public Enemy Number One-o!
[ALL]
Public Enemy Number One,
Thank thee for ev'rything thou hast done
Blessings on thee, thou noble chap
For putting this boat of ours on the map
Thank thee heartily, holy man
For taking this liner American
For henceforth we'll be crowded on ev'ry run
Due to thee, Public Enemy Number One
Amen!
Public Enemy Number One was written by Cole Porter.
