It's A Typical Day
Composer(s): Gene de Paul; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Percy Faith
Soloists: It's a typical day
In Dogpatch, USA
Where typical folks
Do things in a typical way
First we rubs the sleep from our eyes
Get's our grub, and shoos 'way the flies
We spend what's negotiable
Then we gets sociable
Sittin' around swappin' lies!
And then we drops by to collect unemployment pay!
All: Which leads us to say it's a typical day
In Dogpatch, USA!
Lonesome Polecat: Lonsome Polecat, Indian Brave!
Hairless Joe: Hairless Joe, me needum a shave!
Both: We livin' an' sleepin' n' doin' housekeepin' in big subterranian cave!
While Kickapoo Joy Juice we makeum is heap "grade A!"
Skraggs: Take us boys what's known as the Skraggs
Mammy said she had us as gags!
Can't git that depressin' an' homely unlessin' ya comes from a long line o' hags!
There ain't any widders or orphans we won't betray!
Moonbeam: Howdy boys, I'm Moonbeam McSwine
Sleepin' out with the pigs is my line
The fellas admire me
But they don't squire me
Unless the weather is fine!
But I does allright when the wind blows the other way!
All: Which leads us to say it's a typical day, in Dogpatch, USA...It's a typical day
(echo: it's a typical day) in Dogpatch, USA! Where typical folks: echo: typical folks)
Does things in a typical way!
Marryin' Sam: You ain't no friend t' Marryin' Sam
If your name is Sir or Madam
But if you're a bachelor
Pack up yer satchel or I'll have you pushin' a pram!
For fifteen cents extra I'll furnish the bride's bouquet!
All: Which leads us to say it's a typical day, in Dogpatch, US...
Earthquake: Step aside for Earthquake McGoon!
Bustin' out all over like June!
I stands on the corner
Enormous n' ornery
Makin' the fairer sex swoon!
Spoken: My secret desire is to tangle with Daisy Mae!
Daisy Mae:Like he said, my name's Daisy Mae!
Cuz my ma, she planned it that way
My one aim in life is to be a good wife
And marry Li'l Abner someday!
All: She's practicin' up chasin' gophers an' antelopes!
She ain't never caught Li'l Abner, but she's got hopes!
Pappy: Mammy here's sassiety's queen
And she heads the local machine
Mammy: I'se sweet but I'se mystical
And pugilistical
Matter of fact the champeen!
Both: Li'l Abner we has both learned
Still don't know how money gets earned
His heart is the tenderest
But neuter-genderest
Far as young gals is concerned!
Abner: I gets purty tired of runnin' from Daisy Mae!
All: Which leads us to say it's a typical day, in Dogpatch, USA!!!!
