Al 'N' Yetta
Al 'n' Yetta always sit togedda,
Watching TV every single night.
Munching popcorn from a dish,
While observing Dorothy Gish. (
Dorothy Gish) Dorothy Gish, (
What a dish) What a dish. Ohhhh,
Al 'n' Yetta couldn't have it betta,
Their TV set has remote control.
So they both can stay in bed,
With Frankenstein and Mister Ed. (
Mister Ed) Stay in bed, (
Dorothy Gish) What a dish. Ohhhh,
Al 'n' Yetta, fans of Art Linkletta,
And they love to sing along with Mitch.
They just found in TV Guide,
Reruns of December Bride. (
December Bride) TV Guide, (
Mister Ed) Stay in bed, (
Dorothy Gish) What a dish. Ohhhh,
They're big fans of Gunsmoke and Bonanza,
And Ben Casey and Doctor Jim Kildaire,
And third reruns of Millionaire,
And fourth reruns of Yogi Bear. (
Millionaire) Yogi Bear, (
December Bride) TV Guide, (
Mister Ed) Stay in bed, (
Dorothy Gish) What a dish. Ohhhh,
Al 'n' Yetta love to watch Loretta
When she enters through her fancy door.
They just love The Real Mc
Coys,
Walter Cronkite and The Bowery Boys. (
Bowery Boys) Real Mc
Coys, (
Millionaire) Yogi Bear, (
December Bride) TV Guide, (
Mister Ed) Stay in bed, (
Dorothy Gish) What a dish. Ohhhh,
Al got wrinkly, watching Huntley-
Brinkley,
And Colleg Bowl on Sunday afternoons.
While they both watch Meet The Press,
Yetta yearns for Elliott Ness. (
Elliott Ness) Meet The Press, (
Bowery Boys) Real Mc
Coys, (
Millionaire) Yogi Bear, (
December Bride) TV Guide, (
Mister Ed) Stay in bed, (
Dorothy Gish) What a dish. Ohhhh,
Al 'n' Yetta watched an operetta.
Leonard Bernstein told them what they saw.
They both shouted, "
Hail Bernstein!"
Then they switched to What's My Line. (
Hail Bernstein) What's My Line, (
Elliott Ness) Meet The Press, (
Bowery Boys) Real Mc
Coys, (
Millionaire) Yogi Bear, (
December Bride) TV Guide, (
Mister Ed) Stay in bed, (
Dorothy Gish) What a dish. Ohhhh,
Al told Yetta something that upsetta.
He said, "
Dear, our picture tube has blown."
Yetta answered, "
Woe is me,
For tonight we shall not see: (
Hail Bernstein) What's My Line, (
Elliott Ness) Meet The Press, (
Bowery Boys) Real Mc
Coys, (
Millionaire) Yogi Bear, (
December Bride) TV Guide, (
Mister Ed) Stay in bed, (
Dorothy Gish) What a dish." Ohhhh,
Al 'n' Yetta's television set.
