Medley: BARRY IS THE BABY'S NAME / HOROWITZ / GET ON THE GARDEN FREEWAY As recorded by Allan Sherman on "My Son, the Celebrity" (1963) [Tune: Mary's a Grand Old Name*] We'll call him Barry, Barry, that'll be the baby's name. We thought of Lance or Josh, but oh, my gosh, they're not the same. But if it's Barry, Barry, that's a name with style and grace. And if he's not a he, it still could be, like in Barrie Chase. [Tune: Harrigan*] H-O-R-O-W-I-T-Z spells Horowitz. Yesterday I took my girlfriend Peggy To watch him play a concert at Carnegie. V-L-A-D-I-M-I-R, that's Vladimir. And he plays piano good like a real piano player should. Horowitz, hear, hear! [Tune: Give My Regards to Broadway*] Get on the Garden Freeway when you come out to visit me. You'll see a great big shopping center with a brand new A&P. Turn left at Kosciusko. Continue to the third stoplight. Then turn around and drive right back because I won't be home tonight. * All 3 of these songs are by George M. Cohan. |
