    Great find Tim!
    You are right Genene this is the best song ever written about Errol and the three videos are great all with the same song “Errol”.
    I love the video of Captain Blood!

    Here is the lyric:

    Convict state
    It just don’t rate
    He want to get higher
    Apple Isle, the inbred smile
    He’s going to get by’a
    His mother’s hand
    He could not stand
    He left for the islands
    To fish and hunt
    He take a punt
    The New Guinea Highlands

    Ohhh Errol
    I would give everything just to be like him

    He had to go
    The Sirocco
    He’s sailin the high seas
    Hollywood, Captain Blood
    He’s billing the Nazi’s
    Took a rebel stand
    Contraband
    Coast of Mexico
    He want to pounce
    Like an animal
    To girls he just can’t say no

    Ohhh Errol
    I would give everything just to be like him

    He had them all
    Screamin for more
    He play the wild scene
    Ah scandalise, no compromise
    He’s down on his knees
    Swashbuckling
    He was the King
    The toast of Tinseltown
    They build him up
    They took it all
    And then they just cut him down

    Ohhh Errol
    I would give everything just to be like him

    Dont tell me its true
    I dont wanna hear about it

    Ohhh Errol
    I would give everything just to be like him

      Thank you, Tina & Genene. A Flynntastic song, indeed! The Captain Blood video is my fav, too. It takes great devotion to make a music video like that. Here’s another great one:
