The Babbitt And The Bromide Lyrics
The Babbitt And The Bromide - Gene Kelly (吉恩·凯利)/Mickey Rooney
A babbitt met a bromide
On the avenue one day
And held a conversation
In their own peculiar way
They both were solid citizens
They both had been around
And as they spoke you clearly saw
Their feet were on the ground
Hello
How are you
How's the folks
What's new
I'm great
That's good
Huh huh
Not wood
Well well
That's life
What do you know
How's the wife
Got to run
Oh my
Ta ta
Olive oil
Goodbye
Ten years went quickly by
For both these subste antial men
And then it happened that one
Day they chanced to meet again
That they had both developed
In ten years there was no doubt
And so of course they had an
Awful lot to talk about
Hello
How are you
How's the folks
What's new
I'm great
That's good
Huh-huh
Not wood
Well well
That's life
What do you know
How's the wife
Got to run
Oh my
Ta ta
Olive oil
Goodbye
Before they met again
Some twenty years they had to wait
This time it happened up above
Inside Saint Peter's gate
A harp each one was carrying
And both were wearing wings
And this is what they said as they
Were strumming on the strings
Hello
How are you
How's the folks
What's new
I'm great
That's good
Huh huh
Not wood
Well well
That's life
What do you know
How's the wife
Got to fly
Oh my
Ta-ta
Olive oil
Goodbye
