Flashback Friday: Olive, You're a Fine Girl

Filling up Fridays: Fine Flashback Fosts Posts, re-presenting some of my favorite Comics Oughta Be Fun! entries that you might not have seen, or would enjoy seeing again, or maybe you're just going to go out to the pub tonight so you won't have to worry about it, see if I care...anyway, re-presenting a Bully classic originally published on March 17, 2008! (I was six then.)


There's a port on a western bay


And it serves a hundred ships a day


Lonely sailors pass the time away


And talk about their homes


And there's a girl in this harbor town


And she works layin' whiskey down


They say "Brandy, fetch another round"


She serves them whiskey and wine


The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl," (You're a fine girl)


"What a good wife you would be," (Such a fine girl)


"Yeah, your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea."


(Dooda-dit-dooda, dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)


Brandy wears a braided chain


Made of finest silver from the North of Spain


A locket that bears the name


Of the man that Brandy loves


He came on a summer's day


Bringin' gifts from far away


But he made it clear he couldn't stay


No harbor was his home


The sailor said " Brandy, you're a fine girl," (You're a fine girl)


"What a good wife you would be," (Such a fine girl)


"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea."


(Dooda-dit-dooda, dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)


Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes


When he told his sailor stories


She could feel the ocean fall an' rise


She saw its ragin' glory


But he had always told the truth, lord, he was an honest man


And Brandy does her best to understand


(Dooda-dit-dooda, dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)


At night when the bars close down


Brandy walks through a silent town



And loves a man who's not around


She still can hear him say


She hears him say "Brandy, you're a fine girl," (You're a fine girl)


"What a good wife you would be," (Such a fine girl)


"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea."


(Dooda-dit-dooda, dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)


"Brandy, you're a fine girl," (You're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be," (Such a fine girl)


"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea."
(Dooda-dit-dooda, dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
