Minstrel Show Lyrics
Minstrel show
(Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, and Rosemary Clooney)
[Crosby and Kaye:]
I'd rather see a minstrel show
Than any other show I know
Oh! those comical folks
With their riddles and jokes
Here is the riddle that I love the best
"Why does a chicken go...?" You know the rest (yes sir)
I'd pawn my overcoat and vest
To see a minstrel show
[Clooney:]
Mister Bones, Mister Bones
How do you feel, Mister Bones?
[Kaye:]
Rattlin'!
[Clooney:]
Mister Bones feels rattlin'!
Ha, ha, that's a good one
Tell a little story, Mister Bones
[Crosby:]
A funny little story, Mister Bones
[Kaye:]
How can you stop an angry dog from biting you on Monday?
[Clooney:]
That joke is old, the answer is to kill the dog on Sunday
[Kaye:]
That's not the way to stop a dog from biting you on Monday
[Clooney:]
How would you bring the thing about?
[Kaye:]
Have the doggie's teeth pulled out!
[Clooney:]
Oh, Mister Bones, that's terrible! (Uh huh)
[Crosby and Clooney:]
Yes, Mister Bones, that's terrible! (Uh huh)
[Crosby:]
Mister Interloc'ter
[Clooney:]
What is wrong with you?
[Crosby:]
Well, I know of a doctor
[Clooney:]
Tell about him, do
[Crosby:]
Sad to say, one day he fell
Right into a great big well
[Clooney:]
Oh, That's too bad
[Crosby:]
Well, well not at all
[Clooney:]
Why speak in such a tone?
[Crosby:]
He should have attended to the sick
And let the well alone
[Clooney:]
That's a joke (oh oh) that was told (ah ah)
In the minstrel days we miss
[Crosby, Clooney, and Kaye:]
When Georgie Primrose used to sing
And dance to a song like this:
Mandy
(Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, and Chorus)
[Chorus:]
Mandy, Mandy, Mandy
Mandy, There's a minister handy
And it sure would be dandy
If we'd let him make a fee
So don't you linger
Here's a ring for your finger
Isn't it a humdinger?
Come along and let the wedding chimes
Bring happy times
For Mandy and me
[Crosby, Kaye, and Chorus:]
Mandy what a gal
Oh Mandy, there's a minister handy
And it sure would be dandy
if we'd let him make a fee
He's got is rent to pay
So don't delay
It's not a day to linger
Here's a ring for your finger
Isn't it a humdinger?
We advise to
Live and love and honor and obey
Before he gets away
Mandy and me!
[Crosby and Kaye:]
The wedding chimes
Bring happy times
For Mandy and me
(Instrumental/ dance break)
[Chorus:]
So don't you linger
Here's a ring for your finger
Isn't it a humdinger?
Come along and let the wedding chimes
Bring happy times
For Mandy
and me!
Ohhhhhh
