Lyrics and translation Allan Sherman - Al N' Yetta

Al N' Yetta

Al 'N' Yetta
Al 'n' Yetta always sit togedda,
Watching TV every single night.
Munching popcorn from a dish,
While observing Dorothy Gish.
(Dorothy Gish) Dorothy Gish,
(What a dish) What a dish.
Ohhhh,
Al 'n' Yetta couldn't have it betta,
Their TV set has remote control.
So they both can stay in bed,
With Frankenstein and Mister Ed.
(Mister Ed) Stay in bed,
(Dorothy Gish) What a dish.
Ohhhh,
Al 'n' Yetta, fans of Art Linkletta,
And they love to sing along with Mitch.
They just found in TV Guide,
Reruns of December Bride.
(December Bride) TV Guide,
(Mister Ed) Stay in bed,
(Dorothy Gish) What a dish.
Ohhhh,
They're big fans of Gunsmoke and Bonanza,
And Ben Casey and Doctor Jim Kildaire,
And third reruns of Millionaire,
And fourth reruns of Yogi Bear.
(Millionaire) Yogi Bear,
(December Bride) TV Guide,
(Mister Ed) Stay in bed,
(Dorothy Gish) What a dish.
Ohhhh,
Al 'n' Yetta love to watch Loretta
When she enters through her fancy door.
They just love The Real McCoys,
Walter Cronkite and The Bowery Boys.
(Bowery Boys) Real McCoys,
(Millionaire) Yogi Bear,
(December Bride) TV Guide,
(Mister Ed) Stay in bed,
(Dorothy Gish) What a dish.
Ohhhh,
Al got wrinkly, watching Huntley-Brinkley,
And Colleg Bowl on Sunday afternoons.
While they both watch Meet The Press,
Yetta yearns for Elliott Ness.
(Elliott Ness) Meet The Press,
(Bowery Boys) Real McCoys,
(Millionaire) Yogi Bear,
(December Bride) TV Guide,
(Mister Ed) Stay in bed,
(Dorothy Gish) What a dish.
Ohhhh,
Al 'n' Yetta watched an operetta.
Leonard Bernstein told them what they saw.
They both shouted, "Hail Bernstein!"
Then they switched to What's My Line.
(Hail Bernstein) What's My Line,
(Elliott Ness) Meet The Press,
(Bowery Boys) Real McCoys,
(Millionaire) Yogi Bear,
(December Bride) TV Guide,
(Mister Ed) Stay in bed,
(Dorothy Gish) What a dish.
Ohhhh,
Al told Yetta something that upsetta.
He said, "Dear, our picture tube has blown."
Yetta answered, "Woe is me,
For tonight we shall not see:
(Hail Bernstein) What's My Line,
(Elliott Ness) Meet The Press,
(Bowery Boys) Real McCoys,
(Millionaire) Yogi Bear,
(December Bride) TV Guide,
(Mister Ed) Stay in bed,
(Dorothy Gish) What a dish."
Ohhhh,
Al 'n' Yetta's television set

Al 'N' Yetta

Al 'N' Yetta
Al et Yetta sont toujours assis ensemble,
Regardant la télé tous les soirs.
Grignotant du pop-corn dans un plat,
Tout en observant Dorothy Gish.
(Dorothy Gish) Dorothy Gish,
(What a dish) Quelle belle femme.
Ohhhh,
Al et Yetta ne pourraient pas mieux,
Leur téléviseur a une télécommande.
Alors ils peuvent rester au lit tous les deux,
Avec Frankenstein et Mister Ed.
(Mister Ed) Rester au lit,
(Dorothy Gish) Quelle belle femme.
Ohhhh,
Al et Yetta, fans d'Art Linkletta,
Et ils adorent chanter avec Mitch.
Ils viennent de trouver dans le Télé-guide,
Des rediffusions de December Bride.

Ohhhh,
Ils sont de grands fans de Gunsmoke et de Bonanza,
Et Ben Casey et le docteur Jim Kildaire,
Et des troisièmes rediffusions de Millionaire,
Et des quatrièmes rediffusions de Yogi Bear.

Pendant qu'ils regardent tous les deux Meet The Press,
Yetta rêve d'Elliott Ness.

Ohhhh,
Al a dit à Yetta quelque chose qui l'a bouleversée.
Il a dit, "Chérie, notre tube cathodique a grillé."
Yetta a répondu, "Malheur à moi,
Car ce soir nous ne verrons pas:
(Hail Bernstein) What's My Line,
(Elliott Ness) Meet The Press,
(Bowery Boys) Real McCoys,
(Millionaire) Yogi Bear,
