00:28While strolling through the park
00:30One day
00:31In the merry, merry month of June
00:35The snowflakes, they were snowing
00:38And the summer breeze was wafting
00:40As the fishes in the treetops whistled so
00:46Then a charming maidish maiden
00:48Came twitting, flitting by
00:51We knew right then and there
00:53That spring had came
00:54A nose like red, red roses
00:57A face of only hoses
00:59Her figure would put Venus
01:02Whoosh to shame
01:04She was cross-eyed, four-eyed
01:07Every other kind of eyed
01:09Hair dyed, pie-eyed
01:11Still she was a dream
01:13Knock, knee, flat feet
01:15Both of them were left feet
01:17Weighed a pound less than a match
01:19She was so lean
01:22Though her wig is turning gray
01:24We love her just the same
01:27Cause she lives down in our alley
01:32She was cross-eyed, four-eyed
01:35Every other kind of eyed
01:37Hair dyed, pie-eyed
01:39Still she was so sour
01:41Sweet, sour
01:42She was sweet
01:44She was sweet
01:45She was sweet
01:46Sweet, sweet
01:46Sweet, sweet
01:48Knock, knee, flat feet
01:50Both of them were left feet
01:52Just the type to bring home

02:22Always drink when you are dry
02:24Go to bed when you are sleepy
02:27But don't forget to breathe
02:30Or else you'll die
02:39A cat sat on the burning deck
02:41The hair was all around his neck
02:44Dandruff
02:49Jackass Jill
02:52Jackass Jill to go up the hill
02:54To fetch a pail of water
02:55Papa said nix
02:57I'm wise to those tricks
02:58You can't pull that on my daughter
03:05You know we get a cat
03:06Huh?
03:09Twenty people under one umbrella
03:11Not one got wet
03:12How's that?
03:14It wasn't raining
03:16Say, who are you?
03:18I'm a count
03:19Count?
03:20Yes, count
03:21One, two, three, four
03:23No, no, no
03:23Not that kind of a count
03:24I am a count of nobility
03:26I never worked
03:27You're a bum
03:31Say, do you know I've got a farm
03:32Have you got a farm?
03:34I should say I have
03:35Say, how are all the cows and pigs on your farm?
03:38Fine
03:39And how are all your folks?
03:40There are
03:41And at this farm we have a little house
03:43It's only thirty stories high
03:45But it's a nice little house
03:47Sort of a shanty like
03:50And around this house we have a porch
03:52On this porch we keep thirty thousand geese
03:54Thirty thousand geese on your porch
03:57On my porch
03:58They must be Portuguese
04:03You know we get a ca...
04:04Uh huh
04:07Twenty people fell off a ten story roof
04:09Not one got hurt
04:10How was that?
04:11They were all killed
04:17Nineteen bananas, fourteen cucumbers, a hundred carrots
04:20And eleven bags of peanuts
04:22What is it?
04:23I don't know, what is it?
04:24A fruit stand
04:27I give up
04:32Well, you don't get it
04:33I don't want it
04:38I'd like... I will...
04:41Oh, uh...
04:42Oh, you sing too
04:44Well, I want a beautiful cup for singing
04:47Did it have a brush in it?
04:51You know we get a ca...
04:52Uh huh
04:53Say, what do you do for a living?
04:56Well, I work for my father
04:57What does your father do?
04:59He's laid off
05:02Does he need any help?
05:05You know, father had two jobs offered to him
05:08One for nine dollars a week
05:09And one for sixteen dollars a week
05:11And he didn't know which job to take
05:13What did he do?
05:14Well, he took the nine dollar a week job
05:16Because he figured if he gets sick
05:18And he can't work
05:19He wouldn't be losing as much money
05:21As he would be on a sixteen dollar a week job
05:25Say, tell me, uh, when were you born?
05:27And if so, for instance, if...
05:32Well, I was born between nine and ten
05:35That's too many in one bed
05:40And when were you born?
05:41I wasn't born
05:42I'm a self-made man
05:45Well, come around when you're finished
05:49Say, how old are you?
05:50I'm thirty-four
05:52And how old's your father?
05:53We're twins
05:57You know, I had a terrible dream last night
05:59Yeah, I saw you with her
06:04I should say, I had a wonderful dream
06:06What did you dream?
06:07Well, I dreamt that I died and went to heaven
06:10Then what woke you up?
06:11The heat
06:15You know, I never found...
06:16Say, tell me, uh, where is your father now?
06:20Well, he's home
06:21Yeah, how do you know?
06:22I got his shoes on
06:28The guy who wrote this song was deaf
06:31He couldn't hear a note
06:33This is the verse
06:35This is the verse
06:38But he knew all the rules
06:40He didn't, that is why
06:42He wrote the first verse, first
06:44The first verse, first
06:46You pardon me, my, uh, my tongue is perspiring
06:54The bird who wrote the words
06:56Was as crazy as a loon
06:58There's nothing to this song but the tune
07:03And this is the chorus of the song
07:07This is the chorus you're hearing now
07:12You make up the words as you go along
07:16Cause no one pays attention anyhow
07:21Tra-la-la-la
07:23Dum-de-dum
07:25If you want it, you can whistle it around
07:30When you're singing this song to your friends
07:33Remember, this is where the chorus ends
07:39This is the chorus once again
07:42Tra-la-la-la-la
07:45With sealing wax
07:47A rooster is different from a hen
07:52Have you ever sharpened pencils with an axe?
07:56Sweet Adeline
07:58Sweet Adeline
08:00You're the kind of a girl that men forget
08:04Here's the part everybody recommends
08:08Because it comes just where the chorus ends
08:12Of this
08:29And we'll see you once over there
