Hooray

Lyrics composed by John Henderson on the 5th of September, 2013,
to Tolchard Evans' 1932 music for the song, 'Let's All Sing Like The Birdies Sing'.

I once attended a Phys. Ed. School,
Hip, hip-hip hooray;
Where not wrapped-up in cotton wool,
I trained hard each day.
So I sweated as ne'er before,
Drip, drip-drip, drip-drip,
But the stink from my feet
Smelled like yesterday's meat,
Or a skunk's foul spit.

But when I went to the coffee bar,
Sweet, I reeked of soap;
For I'd shower and towel-down,
Giving me some hope
Gals might fall for my clean-cut looks,
And my fine physique,
Though they'd seldom suspect
All that I might expect
O'er the coming week! ....
Though they'd seldom suspect
All that I might expect ....
In the back-seat
Of the movies,
Turning up the 'heat' !
