Not Quite Nonsense |
| Hey Mr. Crumpet can we find another trumpet |
| Man to help us lead another round |
| Because it’s early in the morning |
| And everybody’s yawning |
| And we plan to do it one more time |
| So now cancel reservation |
| And conditioned elation |
| For this orchestra is just now getting formed |
| And with this banjo sitting here |
| And will the lady in the rear |
| Please be kind enough to take her lovely hat off |
| Mr. Grainger the arranger will be here in seconds flat |
| 'Cause he’s left his motor running on the sidewalk |
| But he’s far away to sea |
| Writing notes on what should be |
| But he’s coming back in time to lead the band |
| Don’t you hear him a coming round |
| And when everyone is there |
| Mrs. Klotch and Mr. Pear |
| Little Lennie and his brethern in the front row |
| Then we’ll all begin to sing |
| While the bandsmen do their thing |
| And we’ll call a stop to all that’s not harmonic |
