Oh, Diogenes! Lyrics by Debbie Gravitte

The Boys from Syracuse (1997 Original New York Recording)

[COURTESAN]
There was an old zany who lived in a tub
He had so many flea bites he didn't know where to rub
He kept lookin' for an honest man
Said, "I'm gonna find him if I can"
If I should meet Diogenes today
This is what I'd say
"Rub-a-dub-dub
Hop out of your tub, Diogenes!"
Oh, Diogenes
Find a man who's honest
Oh, Diogenes
Wrap him up for me
Oh, Diogenes
Find a man who's stolid⁠, solid
Hook that fish if he's in the sea
Hunt him, trail him
Catch him, nail him
If he is free
Have you got your stick?
Have you got your lantern?
Can you do the trick
And produce him, please?
Catch that fellow
Ring that bell
Oh, Diogenes!
[COMPANY]
Oh, Diogenes
Find a man who's honest
Oh, Diogenes
Wrap him up for me
[COMPANY]
Oh, wrap him up for me
[COURTESAN]
Oh, Diogenes
Find a man who's
[COURTESAN & ENSEMBLE]
Stolid, solid (Man who's solid)
[COURTESAN]
Hook that fish
If he's in the sea
Hunt him, trail him
Catch him, nail him
If he is free
Have you got your stick?
Have you got your lantern?
[ENSEMBLE]
Your lantern
[COURTESAN]
Can you do the trick
And produce him, please?
Catch that fellow
Ring that bell, oh
[COURTESAN & ENSEMBLE]
Diogenes!
[Dance.]
