South Pacific - Part 5 of 13

Some Enchanted Evening

Time to meet another principal character.  In the movie, it's Emile de Beque, an older, wealthy French planter.  He meets nurse Nellie, and it's love at first sight, as he sings in Some Enchanted Evening.

As the original lyrics say,
        Who can explain it, who can tell you why?
        Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.

In my version, the guy who meets our nurse Nelly is Jack de Coq, and he's only a little older than Nelly and more muscular than Emile de Beque ever was.  Here's Jack de Coq's version of Some Enchanted Evening.
