GUEST,ketchdana Lyr Add: everything is tickety boo (3) RE: Lyr Add: everything is tickety boo 24 Sep 12


The way I hear it -- (and yeah, the guy in the film does leave off the "d" from "lord")

Everything is tickety boo, tickety boo, tickety boo,
everthing is tickety boo on such a dreamy day-dl-y oodl-y

Who could be persnickety poo, snickety poo, snickety poo,
With the sky so blinkety blue it causes one to say:

   Bless mankind including my attackers.
   I'm inclined, the feeling is oh, so jolly, well oh,
   it's ever-so-lutely crackers.

Incidently how about you?
[ horse whinnies (for two beats, but not in tune!) ]
How do you do?
Everything is tickety boo
on such a dreamy, peaches and creamy day.

Everything is tickety boo, tickety boo, tickety boo,
Everthing is tickety boo on such a dreamy day-dl-y oodl-y
Heart is going buckity buck, lord love a duck, buckity buck.
Seems as there's a bit of good luck awaiting on the way.

   Hi ho hey, the breeze is in the trees-oh
   Oh I say, the morning is quite a bit of alright,
   I'm feelin the very cheese oh.

Incidently how about you? Happier too. Follow it through.
Everything is tickety boo on such a dreamy day,
hi ho hip hooray,
on such a dreamy peaches and creamy day

[ the verse, whistled and, uh, instrumentaled )

   Hi ho hey, the breeze is in the trees-oh,
   Oh I say,
   the morning is quite a bit of alright,
   I'm feelin the very cheese-oh,

Incidently how about you? happier too, follow it through.
Everything is tickety boo on such a dreamy day,
Hi ho hip hooray,
on such a dreamy, peaches and creamy,
such a dreamy, peaches and creamy,
such a dreamy, peaches and creamy day.


Like so many others, I fall in love with Danny Kaye's catchy songs, even ones not written by Sylvia Fine.
