GUEST,Chris Koppelberger Lyr Add: everything is tickety boo (3) Lyr Add: everything is tickety boo 23 Sep 12


I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere so I listened to the clip on youtube about 247 times and wrote down what I could understand of the lyrics. There is a section where Danny Kaye, on bicycle, is holding onto a trolly or bus and I couldn't quite make out what he said there. If you would care to correct my lyrics at that point, I would appreciate it. Well, that said, here are the lyrics to everything is tickety boo...

everything is tickety boo

from Movie Merry Andrew

(Merry Andrew is a 1958 American musical film directed and choreographed by Michael Kidd.
The screenplay by Isobel Lennart and I.A.L. Diamond is based on the short story
"The Romance of Henry Menafee" by Paul Gallico. Saul Chaplin composed the music and
Johnny Mercer wrote the lyrics for the film's score - see wikipedia )
