lyrics are a combined effort of Gene, Cookie & Mel WHEN VERONICA PLAYS THE HARMONICA KAY KYSER When Veronica plays the harmonica Down on the pier at Santa Monica When she gives out with Gershwin or Bach The perch and barracuda come wigglin' up to the dock The seals and haddock get aquabatic When she plays on her chromatic When she plays boogie woogie lobsters flippity flop She even made a submarine blow it's top When Veronica plays her harmonica Down on the pier at Santa Monica When Veronica plays the harmonica Down on the pier at Santa Monica She plays mad jive for the hepcat fish She even plays a tune for a tuna that swims with a swish A big fat turtle whose name was Myrtle Shook and shivered till she broke her girdle, The whale that swallowed Jonah yelled across the bay I'll open up my mouth and let you out today To hear Veronica play her harmonica Down on the pier at Santa Monica Two happy sturgeons whose hatch were mergin' Were married when her wedding march was urgin' Each sturgeon had some little ones with eyes of blue Who taught a school of eels and kippered herring too To play harmonica without Veronica Down on the pier of Santa Monica
