Thread Name: Req: Gooney Bird Song
Subject: Gooney Bird Song
Hi Joe ...stumped again…in the 1950s there was a novelty song
First verse (as best I rercall):
Once there was a gooney bird Who lived in a big bell tower And every time the bird would sing The bellsl would ring the hour He’d open up his little mouth’ And gayly start to sing When the great big bell went “BING BANG The middle sized bell went CLANG CLANG CLANG The tiny little bell went TINGALINGALING And nobody ever heard that gooney bird sing
(Third verse has a happy ending…but I can’t find it )
