| [00:24.303] | Jimmy Durante was once a little boy of only three |
| [00:31.461] | Jimmy Durante Knew nothin' 'bout the birds or 'bout the bees |
| [00:38.601] | Daddy would warn him When you're a man you're gonna wanna go ha-cha-cha-da |
| [00:45.005] | Better to put out the fire |
| [00:48.60] | Put on a ring and sing in the choir |
| [00:52.772] | And his mommy would lecture |
| [00:53.575] | Don't listen to the ladies in the hall |
| [01:00.333] | They wanna get ya, but Mommy isn't gonna let ya fall |
| [01:06.468] | Pity the kid, he sits there |
| [01:08.665] | And little does he know, but the oysters are his |
| [01:13.861] | Leavin' the cloister by Christmas |
| [01:17.002] | Stickin' his nose into everybody's business |
| [01:21.355] | Jimmy, go |
| [01:25.393] | Hit the road and get on with the show |
| [01:28.862] | So they don't root for you |
| [01:30.867] | They don't wanna face what that snoot's gonna do |
| [01:35.003] | All the while |
| [01:39.009] | All the girls in the chorus will smile |
| [01:41.778] | Spreadin' those curtains apart on the stage |
| [01:45.442] | Goodnight, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are |
| [01:48.774] | I'm comin' to get you, I'm gonna be a star |
| [01:52.003] | You've been in my heart, girl, you've never been far |
| [01:54.702] | So, goodnight, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are |
| [01:58.700] | This is your daddy |
| [02:00.920] | When you're a man, you're gonna want to go, “Ha-cha-cha-da” |
| [02:14.550] | Jimmy's live |
| [02:17.380] | Catch the champ who is takin' a dive |
| [02:20.680] | Learned what the ladies lacked |
| [02:22.703] | Now ev'ryone wants to get into the act |
| [02:27.680] | Join the cause |
| [02:31.630] | Follow Jim 'cause he follows his schnozz |
| [02:35.000] | Once there was grievin' |
| [02:36.307] | But now even Daddy's relented |
| [02:39.000] | He's sayin' how it isn't any crime |
| [02:44.890] | The choir director is layin' down a madrigal in time |
| [02:51.218] | Even the Pope is hopin' he's happy |
| [02:55.211] | And he gives him a snappy thumbs-up |
| [02:57.112] | Dancin' the Tango with Mommy |
| [03:02.513] | Singin' a hey, nonny, nonny and a ha-cha-cha |
