WHAT'S GOOD FOR GENERAL BULLMOOSE
From the Broadway Show "Li'l Abner" (1956)
(Johnny Mercer /Gene De Paul)
(Parts 1 & 2)
Part 1:
General Bullmoose:
(Speaking
What’s good for General Bullmoose is what’s good for the U.S.A.
And by Dow Jones and all their little averages,
Don’t you forget it! Right, boys?
Men:
(Singing)
Right!
Three rousing rahs and a few hussahs
And a hip-hip-hip hooray
What’s good for General Bullmoose
Is good for the U.S.A.
Part 2:
General Bullmoose:
(Speaking)
We’ll show these hillbillies what’s what!
Right, boys?
All but General:
(Singing)
Right!
He makes the rules
And he intends to keep it thataway
What’s good for General Bullmoose
Is good for the U.S.A.
