Lyrics The Babbitt And The Bromide - Danny Kaye
A
babbitt
met
a
bromide
on
the
avenue
one
day,
And
held
a
conversation
in
their
own
peculiar
way;
They
both
were
solid
citizens,
they
both
had
been
around,
And
as
they
spoke
you
clearly
saw
their
feet
were
on
the
ground!
Hello!
How
are
you?
How's
the
folks?
What's
new?
I'm
great!
That's
good!
Huh-huh!
Touch
wood!
Well
well!
What
say?
How've
you
been?
Nice
day!
How's
things?
What's
new?
That's
fine!
How
are
you?
Nice
weather
we
are
having,
but
it
gives
me
such
a
pain,
I've
brought
my
umbrella
so
of
course
it
doesn't
rain!
Well,
hey'ho!
That's
life!
What's
new?
How's
the
wife?
Got
to
run!
Oh
my!
Ta-ta!
Olive
oil!
Goodbye!
Ten
years
went
quickly
by
for
both
these
subste-antial
men,
And
then
it
happened
that
one
day
they
chanced
to
meet
again!
That
they
had
both
developed
in
ten
years
there
was
no
doubt,
And
so
of
course
they
had
an
awful
lot
to
talk
about!
Hello!
How
are
you?
How's
the
folks?
What's
new?
I'm
great!
That's
good!
Huh-huh!
Touch
wood!
Well
well!
What
say?
How've
you
been?
Nice
day!
How's
things?
What's
new?
That's
fine!
How
are
you?
I
seem
to
know
your
face
but
I
just
can't
recall
your
name!
Well
how've
you
been
old
boy?
You're
looking
just
about
the
same!
Well,
hey'ho!
That's
life!
What's
new?
How's
the
wife?
Got
to
run!
Oh
my!
Ta-ta!
Olive
oil!
Goodbye!
Before
they
met
again,
some
twenty
years
they
had
to
wait;
This
time
it
happened
up
above,
inside
Saint
Peter's
gate!
A
harp
each
one
was
carrying,
and
both
were
wearing
wings,
And
this
is
what
they
said
as
they
were
strumming
on
the
strings;
Hello!
How
are
you?
How's
the
folks?
What's
new?
Got
to
run!
Oh
my!
Ta-ta!
Olive
oil!
Goodbye!
