21 Apr 02 - 10:17 PM (#695266) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sagebrush Sadie From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Sagebrush Sadie was the title of a 1928 Disney cartoon featuring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (he rescues her). Pete was the villain. There were 26 Oswald cartoons before Disney lost the rights and created Mickey Mouse. I would be very surprised if a song didn't originate from this cartoon- and I vaguely remember one, but at my age and remove from that time, my mind may be playing tricks on me. The cartoon was silent, so the song couldn't have come from the film. |

03 Feb 07 - 01:34 PM (#1956687) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sagebrush Sadie From: Jim Dixon Dorothy Shay's performance of SAGEBRUSH SADIE appears on the album "Here's Dorothy Shay," Sepia Recordings CD #1078, 2006. Here's what I was able to piece together from a couple of sound samples: ... on the Hit Parade In a manner that we never did expect. Unlike any of her kin, She grew whiskers on her chin And her sideburns caused the neighbors to remark. [unintelligible – doesn't sound like English] Soon her beard became full-grown And they've got her on display in Central Park. They call her Sagebrush Sadie The famous bearded lady. Her whiskers brought her riches and renown. They're the pride of the museum And it costs two bits to see 'em And the family's getting rich on Sadie Brown. All the neighbors thereabout Tried their best to figure out Why she grew a set of whiskers but they can't. Both her sisters look like Ma, And the boys resemble Pa, But Sadie seems to favor General Grant. She started running round With a barber.... |

05 Feb 07 - 10:16 PM (#1958571) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sagebrush Sadie From: Jim Dixon You might be able to get the complete lyrics by transcribing them from the video at YouTube (which Skipy mentioned above) of Rocky and the Champagne Hillbillies (from the old Lawrence Welk TV show) singing SAGEBRUSH SADIE. I'd do it, but my home computer really can't handle videos. My computer at work handles them just fine, but there, I have the problem of actually needing to get some work done. |

06 Feb 07 - 08:17 PM (#1959783) Subject: Lyr Add: SAGEBRUSH SADIE (Beatty, Wood) From: Jim Dixon OK, I stayed late at work and got the rest of the song. SAGEBRUSH SADIE Publisher: Hollywood, CA: American Music, c1948. Music by Britt Wood; words by George Beatty. 1. On the outskirts of our town Lived a gal named Sadie Brown And they say she's making money by the peck; For this simple country maid, She landed on the Hit Parade In a manner that we never did expect. 2. Unlike any of her kin, She grew whiskers on her chin, And her sideburns caused the neighbors to remark. Through no effort of her own, Soon her beard became full-grown, And they've got her on display in Central Park. CHORUS 1: They call her Sagebrush Sadie, The famous bearded lady. Her whiskers brought her riches and renown. They're the pride of the museum And it costs two bits to see 'em And the family's getting rich on Sadie Brown. 3. All the neighbors thereabout Tried their best to figure out Why she grew a set of whiskers but they can't. Both her sisters look like Ma, And the boys resemble Pa, But Sadie seems to favor General Grant. 4. She started running round With a barber in the town, And I'm telling you, that feller, he had an awful crush; But it's easy to explain Why she drove that poor man insane 'Cause Sadie's got the skin you want to brush.[*] CHORUS 2: They call her Sagebrush Sadie, The famous bearded lady. Her whiskers brought her riches and renown. Her face is a sensation With her new upswept expression And the family's getting rich on Sadie Brown. 5. Her barber friend proposed Just as everyone supposed, But the way he did it made her kind of vexed. He'd been married twice before, But the thing that made her sore Was when he rode up to the door and hollered "Next!" 6. She consented with a smile, And he led her down the aisle In the chapel where the morning glories bloom; But poor old Parson ---- He couldn't get it figured out, So he shook hands with the bride and kissed the groom. CHORUS 3: They call her Sagebrush Sadie, The famous bearded lady. She's happy that she's wed and settled down. She's got a baby daughter With a mustache like an otter. She's the image of her mother, Sadie Brown. [* "Skin you love to brush"--a punning allusion to an advertising slogan: "A skin you love to touch," used by Woodbury's Facial Soap since 1911.] |
