The Handiest Frenchmen In The Caribbean Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

The Gull Reef Club's former handyman, Hippolyte Lamartine, could fix everything and keep the place running no matter what. Sheila knows Hippolyte, and she gets him to come back and take over. Hippolyte is solving all problems and things are looking up, so Norman sings this jolly song about his wonderful handyman. Then it turns out that Hippolyte is a homicidal maniac, which creates difficulties. 

Ensemble 

Hippolyte, Hippolyte Lamartine 

Handiest Frenchman in the Caribbean 

Got the Gull Reef Club sparkling and clean 

Bravo bon travou Mr. Martine 

Who patch the hole in the cistern wall 

Hippolyte 

Who solved my problems one and all 

Hippolyte 

A genie in a bottle twenty feet tall 

Hippolyte, Hippolyte Lamartine

A million miles away from nasty New York City
