His wife, the incredibly gifted Sylvia Fine, wrote most of his "verbage" pieces including the one you're referring to here. She knew what wonderful things he was capable of doing, making it an excellent collaboration. I can't locate the lyrics but if you look hard enough, there is a lot of info on both of them on the web.

This isn't it, I'm sure, but years ago I memorized a song sung by Danny who was playing an usher in a movie theater. He sang the screen credits that HE had memorized:

"Art direction -- Finkelpuff Interiors -- Minerva Buff Photography -- Alonzo Tech Recorded Sound -- Osneedle Beck Upholstery by Zachary Knick-nackery by Tackery Terpsichore by Dickery And Dickery by Doc."

Everybody's heard of Peter Piper
And the Peck of Pickled peppers that he picked
That's such a silly simple children's game
That it hasn't even got a name
But I'd like to bet that it'll trip ya
Like to betcha that you'll have to say you're licked
If Peter Piper you pronounce with ease
Then twist your tongue around these.

Moses supposes his toeses are roses
But Moses supposes erroneously
For Moses's toeses are toeses, not roses
As Moses supposes his toeses to be

Kistle will whistle at bustly Miss Russell
Who'll rustle and bustle 'til Kistle will roar
Now Russell's asked Axle for Kistle's dismissal
And this'll teach Kissle to whistle no more

That's a tongue twister
It seems so easy 'til the word gets sprung
If you insist you want to try a list (not sure of this line)
Step up Mister and Twist your tongue

Hetta is hoping to hop to Tahiti
To hag a hibiscus to hang on her hat
Now Hetta has hundreds of hats on her hat-rack,
So how can a hop to Tahiti help that? Ho Ho Ho Ho

Theata thought Thora was thumping her thimble
But Thomas thought Thora was thumping her thumb
???
Said Theta, she surely is thumping her drum

Tito and Tato were tattooed in toto
But Toto was only tattooed on his toe
Tato told Tito where Toto was tattooed
But Tito said Toto's tattoo wouldn't show

Sheila is selling her shop at the seashore
For shops at the seashore are so sure to lose
Now Sheila's not sure of what she should be selling
Should she sell seashells, or should she sell shoes

Twistopher Twistle was twing to whistle but Twistopher twisted his tongue

I think I've got them all, but will go back and listen. I actually got through this one a few years ago. Boy did I feel clever.

Thanks SUSAR!!!! Great job!!!

He WAS really great wasn't he? Karen and I watch his movies when they're on and both of us are completely in love with the man. His TV series was always watched at our house...my mom was a huge fan too. His benevolent works were so numerous and his obvious love of kids made him one of those special stars who "gave back" and that's always high on my list of good traits.

I think one his greatest bits was the VERY verbal, but without words, song he did about the guy getting his draft notice and going into the army. A GREAT and probably a one off....only one Danny Kaye.

I missed him first time round. The television reception up here in the north has always been rugged at best, and much of his stuff seems to have played on NBC, which just didn't make it in.

The Court Jester and Inspector General are two of my favorite movies. I bought a copy of The Court Jester and forced my family to watch it with me one night.

I have always loved Danny Kaye, for all of the reasons that Catspaw said. He was everything I admire: caring, willing to take risks for what he believed in, funny, talented, artistic & clever.

Well, I just realised why I like the Mudcat and Mudcatters, too.

Just discovered (through careful digging in my mess of a study) that there are two tongue twisters which I left out!! Here you go.

Now Charlie is charry when choosing his cheeses And cheeses are challanged when Charlie arrives. When Charlie is charming and chooses a cheddar Then chills it and chips it and chopps in some chives

(I may have this wrong, but that's what it sounds like) And

Snobby Miss Norah is sniffing her snuff But the snuff has no sniff and it makes Norah sneeze When snide Alice Nortan ears Norah a sneezing She snappily snorts Norah's sneezing a breeze.

Thanks to MudCatters for spinning this Danny Kaye thread. One thing leads to another on the Web....

I was able to locate on eBay an auction item I've searched for for years....Danny Kaye's 1962 classic D-O-D-G-E-R-S. When the 45 shows up in the mail I'll post the lyrics as another testimony to Mr. Kaye's wonderful talent.

Of the many recordings, films, TV shows I've seen, \I would recommend DANNY KAYE at the LONDON PALLADIUM (circa 1949). Any Mudcat leads on this one?

I think the title was "Merry Andrew". That is my all time favourite Danny Kaye movie. It had Danny Kaye as a university professor or student, who in the course of some work got involved with a circus and eventually dropped the love he had, and went for the one in the circus.

On the general theme of "Gee, wasn't Danny Kaye great?": I doubt that anyone would rate this as one of his most important performances, but I just love his contribution to the Rankin-Bass animated special "Here Comes Peter Cottontail." He, in animation and in voice, portrayed the character Seymour S. Sassafras, and he also provided the voices for Colonel Bunny and Antoine the caterpillar. It's my favorite Rankin-Bass special, largely on the strength of
Mr. Kaye's performance.

Life could not better be, better be, better be
It could not possibly, no, serrah serrah sirree
Songs could not gayer be, sound your Do, Re or Mi
Do Re Mi sol la ti, fa la la la, fa-alo-ow me.

Why be gloomy, cut thy nose off to spite thy face...
Listen to me,...a nose is hard,... to replace

Skies could not bluer be, hearts in love, truer be
I say for you or me,... life couldn't possibly, not even probably
Life couldn't possibly better be.

Life could not better be, on a midy-evil spree
Knights full of chivilry, villians full of villiany
You'll see as you suspect, maidens fair, just beget
Suthe, tried and true aspect, for the umpteenth time we resurect

We did research, authenticity was a must
Whew!... did we search, and what did we find? huh-chew! A lotta dust!

After the dust had cleared, half the cast, had a beard
And I'm the one as you can see, for whom the bell tolls mer-ril-ly

We asked Shakespeare, and Francis Bacon would they declare
Which one wrote this, and they both said... get outda dair!

Which brings us, to the plot, and plot we've got, quite alot
And as it unfolds you'll seeeeeeee
What starts as a scary tale, ...ends like a fairy tale...
And life couldn't possibly beh-ter beeeeeeee!

A while back I asked if anyone knew of a Danny Kaye song called the Fish and Chip song. Someone out "there" ran into one of my inquiries and sent me the lyrics. It is a song I remember my grandmother playing for me on her old Victrola.

Here it is!


I got to go and buy a paper full of fish and chips,
I got to go for don't you know I'm barely smacking me lips.
Ow Ow Ow Ow it wet's me appetite,
For I could go on eatin' fish and chips all night.
The wife and kids are waitin' for we're goin' to 'ave a spree,
They've got the salt and vinegar, the kettle's on for tea.
Love a duck I musn't stop for I gotta go 'round the shop,
And buy a paper full of fish and chips.

CHORUS:

'Ave a banana, 'ave a banana,    (pronounced "buh naaaaaah na" British style)
You peel the skin off with your fingertips.
'Ave a banana, 'ave a banana,
I'm gettin' a paper full of fish and chips.

Freddie was a fireman, brave without a doubt.
He was the bravest fireman when puttin' fires out.
While workin' on a fire, and the flames was blazin' hot,
He scratched 'is 'ead and the he said,
"BLYME I Forgot !"

Danny Kaminsky born in Brooklyn, came to prominence in Moss Hart's "Lady In the Dark"
with Gertrude Lawrence, one of the first music "books" that were original. Danny's big song was "Tschaikovsky" which brought him fame.

Sylvia Fine was a comic lyric "genius" like Tom Lehrer. (I always wondered if "Lobachevsky" (sp?) was patterned after "Tschaikovsky".)

"I'll never forget the morning that grandpa ate the awning
To impress a pretty lady, who went for men that were shady."

Sylvia Fine, I don't think, got the recognition that she deserved.

I met him one time briefly at the Gate of Horn in Chicago when he came in to the dressing room to see Shoshana Damari (a legend in Israel). I noticed that he wore two different colored socks.

Another Kaminsky, Sid Caesar, nee: Kaminsky.

"Tubby The Tuba" a classic children's recording.

His "git-gat-gittle" was a new kind of scat singing. He was adored in England.

In 1959 or so my best friend Melanie and I started a two-person "Danny Kaye Club". We listened to all my parents' '78s of Danny Kaye. My favorite was "Anatole of Paris". I think there was also a "Minnie the Moocher". We read the short biography of him we had over and over. We went to the theater and watched "On the Double" so often we had it completely memorized. We saw on tv and loved "The Inspector General" and made cartoons of the stories, adding some new developments of our own. The first movie I ever saw, at age four, was Hans Christian Anderson. What a wonderful talent and person.

Mel Brooks, born Melvin Kaminsky, not Sid Caesar, was the other Kaminsky. Caesar was said to be Sid's authentic surname. What a group "Your Show of Shows" gave to the world. Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Carl Reiner, Nanette Fabray and Howard Morris. Writers included Mel Brooks and Larry Gelbart (father of TV's "M.A.S.H.") among many others.

My favourite Danny Kaye song was an Americanized version of the Nightmare Song from "Iolanthe" -- the one that begins:

I was lying awake with a dismal headache ... [stuff missing]
I presume you may use any language you choose to indulge in without impropriety.

It was a cherry-red 45 with "Inchworm" on the B side -- or maybe "Inchworm" was the A side but I was too Gilbert&Sullivan-fixated to notice. I was 11 -- what can I say?

Danny Kaye probably would have been GREAT on the old "Show of Shows," with that incredibly talented and uninhibited crowd. But such a towering multi-threat talent, sharing the stage with the great Caesar is hard to imagine. Also, a weekly grind, assembled week-to-week, such as those early TV shows were, did not lend themselves to finely honed, crafted and practiced bits - Danny Kaye's forte.

Let the hoi polloi get bilious,

If with courage Carthaginian
   you just offer no opinion,
      you'll be hailed as a man of sense;
Endeavor to be clever
   and commit yourself forever
      to a firm stand on defense.

And everyone will say
   as you go your silent way,

I absolutely adored Danny Kaye growing up. I videotaped 'The Court Jester' and 'Hans Christian Andersen' carefully editing out all of the ads. I must have watched them both hundreds of times, and used to delight in introducing friends to the wit and wisdom of this incredibly gifted entertainer. Even very young children used to love The Court Jester. There is so much in it. The scene where he is hiding in the bedroom after the witch puts the spell on him and every time fingers are clicked he switches personalities...the wagon ride with the Captain when he plays a deaf old man...the several languages spoken fluently by Giacomo...the hilarious scene where he is being knighted...I could go on and on! Now I'm going to go look for a copy on DVD - the videotape wore out a long time ago. Thanks for this thread, it's brought back a lot of happy memories!

Cheers,
Quokka

What about the flagon with the dragon? I was almost sure that one had the pellet with the poison! I'm sure you're right about the brew that is true, however, definitely the chalice from the palace ;-).

The pellet with the poison was in the vessel with the pestle, but then they broke the chalice from the palace. After that the pellet with the poison was in the flagon with the dragon, and the vessel with the pestle had the brew that is ... blue?

Are you sure they got all the poison out of the vessel with the pestle? Looking back on it, I'm pretty sure they were all high on something.......or maybe that's just my warped mind ;-) By the way, I'm trying to remember who played the Captain - she was also the mother (and militant feminist) in Mary Poppins, Jean something. Anybody know? Also, the secret whistle code in TCJ - how do you articulate that?

Thank you, Snuffy, that's exactly who I mean, Glynis Johns. Maybe Jean was her character's name, although they nearly always called her 'The Captain'.

All I have is Ovure la fentre

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Danny Kaye Songs
From: Jim Dixon
Date: 10 Mar 10 - 05:28 PM

Danny Kaye did indeed record MINNIE THE MOOCHER – in April 1941, on Columbia 36582 (b/w LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT LOVE).

I haven't heard the whole song, but I listened to a few samples. I also read some reviews and reports which called it a "signature piece" and a "spoof." He frequently performed this in concert and used it as an audience-participation piece.

Where Cab Calloway sang his "Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi" (etc.) in call-and-response fashion, with his band members supplying the responses, Kaye had the audience sing the responses. He then improvised more and more outlandish and complicated "scat" phrases, challenging his audience to repeat them. He even imitated other languages. I heard things that sounded vaguely like French, German, and Japanese, but I'm rather sure they were really gibberish.

Even when he sang "Ouvrez la fenêtre" (French for "open the window") he didn't pronounce it correctly—he stretched "fenêtre" out to 4 syllables: "fe-ne-te-ra."

I'm pretty sure he recorded it more than once.

Hi there

I am being driven crazy by a tune that my grandparents used to sing to me when I was tiny (late 50's, early 60's maybe). There are no lyrics and they used to call it "the happy song" - a few years ago I sung it to a work colleague who thought it was a Danny Kaye song - has anyone any ideas? it was a sort of "doo be doo be doo" thing...

they sung it to me at as weel as something called "any umberellas" which I think was probably a wartime song (and not danny kaye)

Don't know about kiddie songs. My mom was a Danny Kaye nut. Some of the songs he used in his live nightclub acts were later--umm--uh--cleaned up & included in some of his movies. Mom(Hally Wood) was living in NYC in the mid-late 1940s & she learned them at the nightclub. Much later, when my kids were little & we were living in So. Austin, Mom would come over from Houston to visit & sing some of these to the kids in their beds. Boy, did they pay attention. Of course, there are some other classics: the chalice from the palace holds the brew that is true (or maybe not); I learned very little highschool math, but I still understand that "The square of the hypotenuse of the right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the 2 adjacent sides". & there was 1 in "The Inspector-General" about choral singing that can make me hold my breath when I find it on. & there was a national anthem in that same movie about Grozny(Brozny?), the capitol city--of Chechnya!!!!???

Does anyone have the lyrics to the song Danny sang in The Court Jester about how he became a jester? I remember a little bit:

My mother she cried[...] you're a brute and you don't understand him
So I went to a witch with a terrible twitch and I asked how my future impressed her
She took one look at me -
she said tee-hee-hee- he? What else could he be but a jester?
A jester? A jester? A funny idea, a jester.
But where could I learn any comical turn without any book on the shelf
No teacher to shape me, to mold me and make me...

Anyone have any more of this?

If You're Anxious for to Shine


If you're anxious for to shine in the high aesthetic line as a man of culture rare.
You must gather up the germs of the transcendental terms and plant them everywhere.
You must lie among the daisies and discourse in idle phrases of your elevated state of mind:
The meaning doesn't matter as it's only idle chatter of the transcendental kind.
And everyone will say, as you go your mystic way,
"If this young man expresses himself in terms too deep for me,
Why, what a very cultivated kind of youth this kind of youth must be."


That's the first verse. On the recording I had, Danny Kaye sang the second verse as written by G&S and then the third verse as above, except I heard the line as

"Endeavor to be clever and commit yourself forever to a person on the fence."

Subject: Lyr Add: LOBBY NUMBER (MANIC DEPRESSIVE PRESENTS)
From: Jim Dixon
Date: 16 Aug 10 - 03:34 PM

In the sound-track listing for the film "Up in Arms" (1944) at IMDb.com there is this:

* "Theater Lobby Number"
Written by Sylvia Fine and Max Liebman
Performed by Danny Kaye

(Sylvia Fine was married to Danny Kaye.)

On several albums, this is called LOBBY NUMBER (MANIC DEPRESSIVE PRESENTS). At ASCAP.com, it is called LOBBY NUMBER (FR UP IN ARMS).

You can hear the whole song at YouTube, where it is called MANIC DEPRESSIVE FROM UP IN ARMS. Here is my transcription:

Manic Depressive Pictures presents (lion roar)
"Hello, Fresno, Goodbye"
Produced by R. U. Manic
And directed by Depressive
Now you know the name of the picture and you'd like to see it—
But no!
Screenplay by Gluck, from a stage play by Musk,
From a story by Blip, from a chapter by Ronk,
From a sentence by Doaks, from a comma by Stokes,
From an idea by Groaks, based on Joe Miller's Jokes.
Now you know the name of the picture and who wrote it,
And you'd still like to see it, hm?
But no!
Art direction, Finkelfluffen
Theory, S Minerva
Photography, Alonzo Teck
Recorded sound by Needle...
Upholstery by Zachary
Knick-knackery by Thackeray
Terpsichore by Dickery
And Dickery by Doc.
Now finally, finally at last comes the picture,
And what do we see?
The same old beautiful chorus girls!
The opening scene is a ranch in Fresno, California.
So what are they singing?
"When it's cherry-blossom time in Orange, New Jersey,
We'll make a peach of a pair.
I know we cantaloupe, so honeydew be mine,
And if—"
Up from the gulch rides a hunk of man.
He is our hero, cowboy Dan,
A gallopin' yodelin' buckaroo.
His horse, of course, is a baritone, too.
"I've got them old wagon-wheels inside of me. Yeooh-hoo-hoo!
I've got that old cactus in the hide of me. Yeooh-hoo-hoo!
I've got that yeooh-hoo-hoo!"
The girls are delighted to hear this,
But where is our heroine?
As the bell rings for lunch,
We find our heroine in the corral, eating her heart out.
She is Mary Schwann,
Tap-dancing daughter of an American ...
Who left her on the doorstep of an old English castle,
Where she was found by Sir Basil Metabolism, who said:
"By Jove, a girl baby! I shall raise her as me own daughter."
Which he did.
But she wants to tap-dance,
And cowboy Dan, whom she met on the strip—
And it was love at first sight—
Wants to marry her so she can tap-dance,
But she knows Sir Basil will never permit this,
Never, never, never! (Crying sounds.)
That's why she's eating her heart out,
But through her tears, she is singing a happy little song,
Because she is also a coloratura soprano.
(Gibberish singing in the style of a coloratura soprano.)
She is beside herself, her favorite position.
"Oh, father, you must let me marry Cowboy Dan.
He owns the biggest ranch in Texas: Bar None."
"Bar none? That's the password of the FBI!"
It can't be!
No-no, yes-yes, no-no, yes-yes,
No-no, yes-yes, No-no, yes-yes,
It can't be, but it was!
He rushes to Mary Schwann.
"Mary Schwann, you must help me out.
Can you tap out a message in code?"
This is her big chance. Now she can tap-dance, which she does.
But what has she done? She has betrayed her own father.
But he isn't her father.
He is Heinrich Von Schloopen Von—(German gibberish)—
A dangerous German spy.
"Stick up your hands, you dirty rat."
The FBI finally catches the German spy.
Dan and Mary are about to blend.
You think the picture's about to end—
But no!
Who ever heard of a musical picture without Carmelita Pepita,
The Bolivian bomb-a-shell?
"I wish you would come with me to my little village in Bolivia.
So peaceful there with the purple mountains, the lovely ...
And the shining stars,
And the little people who live so simple and quiet,
And every night all they want to do is—"
"Grab a partner, swing away ... Orange a day.
Grab her by the teeth and swing her by the hair,
And you will make a peach of a pair."
...
So here we are back in Fresno, California,
And this is where you came in,
But do not fret, my friends.
This is a picture that ends in the middle
For the benefit of the people who came in, in the middle.
This, this is the end!

"Sir Basil Metabolism" in Manic Depressive Pictures Present is dependent on the US pronunciation of the name Basil, the same as 'basal', which that sort of metabolism is. Over here the joke falls flat, because the name is always pronounced with a short a, as is the herb 'basil', pronounced 'bazzle'. I believe that, even over there, the name of the British actor, the villainous/Holmesian Rathbone, is pronounced our way?

Tschaikowsky' from Lady in the Dark from Lady in the Dark was his career changer
with Gertrude Lawrence in one of the few musicals that was not adapted from a book but had an original story.

Danny Kaye (nee: Danny Kaminsky from Brooklyn) was a major talent but it must
be emphasized that Danny did not write his songs.

Sylvia Fine, his wife, was the author of those marvelous ditties. She was one of
the best lyricists and unsung heroines of the musical state.

Oddly enough, Sid Caeser, TV personality was born a Kaminsky too.
