Have you heard of him, little sailor!
who went to Cuba and met Fidel Castro
at the beginning of the revolution?

In like Flynn, he was a dashing swordsman
like Captain Blood and Robin Hood

but they took his yacht
and left him high and dry
though they never got his green cloak.

He leapt off balconies
And great stairs, but grew tired
of all those costume dramas,

He wanted to be a writer,
a war correspondent
not just a poser for the cameras.

In like Flynn, he was Australian
and became an American movie star:
that's climbing the ladder, little sailor!
