I can recall only a few of the lyrics (and have to give the nonsense syllables phonetically). Anyone ever heard a song that goes, in part, like this? He asked the devil-um for an ice-cream sodium Hally,hally hoolium, old Ram Jaram! Oh, said the devil-um, this ain't no hotel-ium! Hally,hally hoolium, old ram Jaram! |
