Eddie Lisbona

as rec by Kitty Kallen w Harry Geller & his Orch  March 1950 New York


A-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle, doo-doo-doo,
A-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle, doo-doo-doo,
A-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle, doo-doo-doo.

Jukebox Annie, slavin' all the day,
Savin' every nickel of your hard-earned pay;
Come Saturday night and whadda you do
But play the same record the whole night through!

A-doodle-doodle-doo-doo, doodley-doo,
A-doodle-doodle-doo-doo, doodley-doo,
A-doodle-doodle-doo-doo, doodley-doo.

Listen to me Annie, change that tune,
Or you'll drive me batty as a crazy loon!
Your dream boy piano player may be nice,
But doggone it gal, take my advice!

A-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle, doo-doo-doo,
A-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle, doo-doo-doo,
A-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle, doo-doo-doo.
Ah-ha!

Annie child, you'll never grab an hour,
Still you sit there moanin' like a sick old sour!
You got a sweet wife, and take it from me,
That she's good lookin' as a gal can be!

A-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle, doo-doo-doo,
A-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle, doo-doo-doo,
A-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle, doo-doo-doo.

You're a good kid but ou oughtta use your head,
You better go and see a picture show instead!
Just let the guy play and give him a break,
And save all your nickels for candy and cake!

A-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle, doo-doo-doo,
Da-doodle-doodle, doodle-dee-doo,
A-doodle-doo-doo, doodle-dee-doo.

So let the guy play and leave him alone,
Between you and me, Annie, he's my own!

A-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle, doo-doo-doo,
A-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle, doo-doo-doo,
A-doodle-doodle-doodle-doodle, doo-doo-doo.
A-doodle-doo,
Da-doodle-doo,
Da-doodle-doo-da-doodle-doo-doo-doodle-doo.
