What's that song?
What is the song that Cary Grant/Cutter sings while distracting the Thuggees so that Gunga Din can steal away and alert the regiment?
It's called "Oh!, The Roast Beef of Old England" and dates back to the 1700s. It can be heard in a youtube video. Here are some lyrics, though Cary actually sang it a little differently.
When mighty Roast Beef was the Englishman's food,
It ennobled our brains and enriched our blood.
Our soldiers were brave and our courtiers were good
Oh! the Roast Beef of old England,
And old English Roast Beef!
It's also played in The Titanic (Clifton Webb version) by a trumpeter at dinner time.
