Performer(s): The Modernaires
and multiple other artists



Johnny got a furlough and he took it on the run
To see his little hon' and have a little fun
He found her with a sergeant, she was bouncing on his knee
And Johnny yelled, "No wedding bells for me!"

I'll take the legs from some old table
I'll take the arms from some old chair
I'll take the neck from some old bottle
And from a horse I'll take the hair
I'll take the hands and face from off a clock
And baby, when I'm through,
I'll get more lovin' from that Dum-Dum-Dummy
Than I ever got from you

Came another furlough and he called her on the phone
He said, "Are you alone?" She said, "No, no, my own
I'm sitting with your Colonel and he's lovely company"
And Johnny cried, "Ha-ha, ho-ho, hee-hee"

I'll take the legs from some old table
I'll take the arms from some old chair
I'll take the neck from some old bottle
And from a horse I'll take the hair
I'll take the hands and face from off a clock
And baby, when I'm through
I'll get more lovin' from that Dum-Dum-Dummy
Than I ever got from you
