BENNY'S COMING HOME ON SATURDAY


as rec by Ella Fitzgerald w Randy Brooks & his Orch  
Aug 29th 1945 New York


Make with the roast beef,
Make with the gravy,
Make with the shortcake,
'Cause Benny's comin' home on Saturday!

Make with the clean sheets,
Make with the soft bed,
Make with the hot bath,
'Cause Benny's comin' home on Saturday!

Omit the beans, cancel the hash,
'Cause Benny had a-plenty of that!
Delete the Spam, evade the stew,
Benny may be skinny but he's gonna be fat!

Call up the girlfriends,
Make with the party,
spread with the good news,
'Cause Benny's comin' home on Saturday!

Omit the beans, cancel the hash,
'Cause Benny had a-plenty of that!
Delete the Spam, evade the stew,
Benny may be skinny but he's gonna be fat!

Call up the girlfriends,
Make with the party,
spread with the good news,
'Cause Benny's comin' home on Saturday!
