Original song written by cd and piano bar player on maasdam

[mamaofami]

original song written by Steve James, Cruise Director, and Jimmy Maddox, Piano Bar Player on the Maasdam. I was asked to post this for them. Both Jimmy and Steve were wonderful.

“LET’S DO IT”

The birds and the bees do it
Cruisers with their cabin keys do it
Let’s do it,
Let’s go on a cruise.

Young lovers on their honeymoon do it
The Adagio Strings in perfect tune do it
Let’s do it,
Let’s go on a cruise.

Passing snackers at the buffet do it,
but not with a tray
Groovy grandmas on the gangway do it,
but only with Security’s OK
Young sunbathers fore and aft do it
old guests sitting on their rafts do it
Let’s do it,
Let’s go on a cruise.

Late night dealers in the casino do it
Swimmers in tiny Speedos do it
Let’s do it,
Let’s go on a cruise.

Cabin stewards in your staterooms do it
Poaching saunaerers in the steam room do it
Let’s do it,
Let’s go on a cruise.

Bargin hunters in the stores do it
They make the registers ring
The Cruise Director in his office does it,
but not when he’s announcing
The lovely ladies in the Mix do it,
our photographers have got pics of it
Let’s do it,
Let’s go on a cruise.

The dancers in the Ocean Bar do it
If there was anyone in the Crow’s Nest, they’d do it
Let’s do it,
Let’s go on a cruise.

Number punchers at Bingo do it
Even Jimmy at the piano does it
Let’s do it,
Let’s go on a cruise.

Love it!!! Hope to have Maddox at the piano bar on one of our future cruises:)

I think Cole Porter would strongly object to that being called "original" !! ;) I presume the tune is the same as "Let's Fall In Love"?

[mamaofami]

True. They didn't call it original, I did and I meant lyrics.

Jimmy Maddox is scheduled to be on my Nieuw Amsterdam cruise in January -- Can't wait to hear him!

:DOn our recent Maasdam cruise to Canada/New England we thought Jimmy Maddox really perked up an otherwise bland evening. We enjoyed the nightly shows in the Showroom, but after that looked forward to the Piano Bar with Jimmy. He's quite a talented performer with a quick wit and great commentary! He certainly does draw a crowd.

When he leaves the Maasdam shortly, they're going to have a tough time, IMO, filling his shoes.

Those lyrics suck. Let John Valby write some lyrics He can create some great lyrics to old tunes.

I really agree. He left on June 25.
