Thread Name: Lyr Req: Telephone -Scandinavian dialect [Boreson]
Subject: Lyr Req: 'Telephone' (Scandinavian Dialect)
Hi Gang!... I'm a Swede from central MN, & there was a number of Scandianavian performers here years ago who sang amusing dialect songs on the radio... one was "Telephone" to the tune of "Honeycomb"... it was by either Jimmy Jensen, Slim Jim (Clarence Iverson) , Yogi Yorgerson, or the Vagabond Kid.   I know some of the words, but am missing a number of verses.. part of one of them is:

" Vell, I've got a vife & it's kind of funny, she's an ole sour puss but I call her honey.. everytime I come home...there she is on the telephone!... Telephone, Yakkity Yak, on the Telephone All the Time, vat a heckuva life, ven you got a vife on the T. E. L. E... Telephone!..


Any Help out there?.. thanks Gary
