Does anybody remember all of the lyrics ?
Of which song? Every single one of them?
Except the Hut Sut song. You get a pass on that one.
Not to Charlie Parker’s or Dizzy Gillespie’s instrumental be-bop songs, no…
Here you go:
I seem to recall the memorable lyrics: “doodly-adda, doodly-adda, doot-doot-doot” (Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy), which have deep meaning for me.
HeeHee-
I still gurgle on some of those moronic/rhythmic lyrics.
No. Only the rest of that pesky “Music Makers” thing.
I know the Hut sut- - - but I’m most interested as to WHY that particular
Music Man song is un-findable.
Thanks, Whomever. . .lets show off our great memory abilities.
How about “SkyLark” ?
Typing " ________ lyrics" into Google will get you the lyrics of a lot of popular songs, even many as old as the 40s (or before! - should you ever want such an absurd thing.)
It also doesn’t waste the mods’ time giving us copyright warnings, which often happens when complete lyrics are posted to the Dope.
Whenever you wonder why any piece of music is unavailable, think: lawyers. They’re about the last profit sector left in the music business.
Speaking of which, is there a digital recording of the version in the soundie available online? iTunes doesn’t have that version.
I never could find one on Limewire, but, on the off-chance this turns into a Youtube display thread, here’s:
and Spike Jones, THE stand-out in a musical era blaring with silly novelty songs
My fave, The Donkey Serenade (stictly speaking, a 1937 song, but so what?)
Thanks, Slithy. Unfortunately I don’t know how do download the audio from YouTube unto iTunes. 
“There’s a man that comes to our house, every single day.
Papa comes home and the man goes away.
Papa does the work and Mama gets the pay,
And the man comes around when Papa goes away.”
Do you mean like that? 
I Went To Your Wedding never failed to crack me up back in the day. It doesn’t seem so funny now, but I remember tears streaming down my face.
I love Spike Jones - but seriously, there are some highly non pc lyrics, but it was a time when PC wasnt even remotely a concideration - their WW2 version of Casey Jones [the bombadier not the engineer] is seriously non pc - and at one job I got in trouble for listening to it. sigh I really wish they woud worry about something other than a 60+ year old song from a time when the viewpoints were different.
My favorite is Pal-yat-chee
Yes, somebody remembers all of the lyrics. Next question? :rolleyes:
Wow, weird. I’ve been listening to Ella Fitzgerald’s complete Songbooks (255 songs!) for the last couple days. Just played Skylark twice in a row like an hour ago. Was wondering, amazed, at the lyrics of these classics. Cole Porter still head and shoulders above the rest, but I’m a Johnny Mercer fan too.
I’ve noticed a lot of the music from that era had very distinct harmonies. You hear a lot of them in Disney movies, for example. What’s the deal with that? Why don’t we hear that in the same way anymore, and how is it achieved?
The lyrics are kind of secondary in this song, but it is still an incredibly catchy tune from the '40s, with a great little animated video to go with it: All The Cats Join In.
Besides, you have to love a Disney-animated clip from 1946 full of teenagers shagging away. 
to Lissener,
Bully go ! Where did you find that? I was about to reply to Chefguy (a cook?) he’s funny.
Doug, on the other hand is a poser I hasten to reply.
Been there, done that, and now looking for a Civil Music Court. Can’t b’leeve statute of
limitations goes that far back, for a LYRIC. Who can still be alive to care ?
Am in the process of a deep search elsewhere. Will keep you posted.
I was in Rome in ‘58, when Modugno’s gorgeous ‘Nel Blu Dipinto di Blu" hit the top list.
I brought the sheet music back to an Orchestra in the Sherry Netherlands hotel. He didn’t
even glance at it. Back home in “Rainchester” NY, I gave it to our Club orchestra.
Dear ol’ Syl Novelli did look and noodle a bit. Shortly later Ol’ Deeno botched the lyric
translation, as do all Italian descendants, who cannot pronounce their beautiful tongue.
They try to “fit” to Amurrican ?taste not only the words but the meaning. I only hope Modugno never heard it.
Syl cornered me one evening and said -"If you ever come across another tune, - - - " and
burst into tears.
No, sorry, only The Music Makers. Am almost there, out in lyric-limbo.
