Having secured a government contract to make rubber mailbags, Charles triumphantly crows about his achievement.

lyrics

Charles: I told you so (he told you so)
This time I know (we know)
My precious rubber combo (our combo)
Will make the perfect cargo

My wife thinks I'm a fool for even trying
Calls my passion for this substance mystifying
My brother pleads for me to find a new profession
Call my life's work a dangerous obsession

Ethan: But all along I knew he was winning
His work is done
This is our new beginning

Charles: I told you so (he told you so)
This time I know (we know)
My precious rubber combo (our combo)
Will make the perfect cargo

Charles: So far my kids have lived a life of gloom
Sometimes I wish I hadn't settled down so soon
The responsibility is so much stress
I think they've probably delayed my success
Ethan: But all along I knew he was winning
His work is done; this is our new beginning

Charles: I told you so (he told you so)
This time I know (we know)
My precious rubber combo (our combo)
Will make the perfect cargo

Ethan: It's the moment we've been waiting for since 1834
Charles: I swore I'd thwart the odds and sure enough here's my reward

Where's my pen? I need to write to Benji.
To tell him, "keep your nose out",
It's going tremendously.
I'll say it's finally the time to shout 'Eureka!"
And while I'm at it I shall also write Clarissa.

Ethan: Cos all along I knew he was winning.
His work is done; this is our new beginning

Charles: I told you so (he told you so)
This time I know (we know)
My precious rubber combo (our combo)
Will make the perfect cargo
