PUT IT THERE PAL
(Johnny
Burke, Jimmy Van Heusen)
Bing and Bob Hope recorded "Put It
There, Pal" from their movie The Road to Utopia
Dec. 8,
1944, with the Vic Schoen Orchestra.
The disk spent one week in the Billboard charts
in 1945.
I don't care where
I'm goin'
Just as long as I'm with you
Put it there, pal. Put it there
I'll be just like your horses
And I'll stick to you like glue
Put it there, pal. Put it there
I'm glad you're fooling Pepsodent
(oh, that happy snow)
Stealing all that cash
I hear your show on Thursdays (nice,
huh?)
What a lot of eggs you smash
Well at least I don't depend upon
Cologna's big moustache (oh, he gave
me the brush)
You're faithful and you're fair
Put it there (skin me Dad, skin me)
You've got that something in your
voice
So right for selling cheese (hustle
a lot of the stuff)
Put it there, pal. Put it there (put
that back in the bowl)
You know, I think your jokes are
great (really?)
It's just that folks are hard to
please (they're just snobs, that all)
Put it there, pal. Put it there
Your face could make a fortune
Just your nose should make a lot
(how do you siphon?)
I like the way you wear those gaudy-colored
shirts you've got, boy!
The only time a rainbow ever covered
up a pot
You're such a perfect square (oh-oh,
is that on the paper?)
(where?, where?)
Shall we dance?
Sorry, I have my heavy underwear
on
Oh, just to once around, to the adrenalin,
huh?
Well, OK, if I lead
My colleague, my crony, my cohort,
my friend
Companions, confederates, chums to
the end
Like meat and potatos, or salt and
tomatoes
Boy, what a blend
Don't put it in the paper (don't
worry about me)
Don't put it on the air (I'll finish
it)
Don't put it in your pipe
Put it there
Confidentially, do you like this
as well as singing?
Leave your name with the girl when
you go out
We may get to you for some crowd
noises
Be sure and call me
All right
