[Intro: Danny Small & Ukulele Mays]
Say, boy, Miss Lucy bought a radio last night
Did she, boy?
Yes, and her old man bawled her out
And for bawling her out, boy, you should have heard what she told him
What'd she tell him, boy?
This is what she told him:
[Verse: Danny Small]
Lucy Lee from Tennessee
Went and bought a radio set
She also had as a household pet
The loudest-speakin' papa that I've heard yet
He talked tough, acted rough
And he strutted terribly proud
He'd rave and shout out loud
He always sounded like a crowd
One night he bawled her out about her radio
That made Miss Lucy angry and shе told him so
What'd she say, boy?
She said:
[Chorus: Danny Small]
"Loud-speakin' papa, you bеtter speak easy to me!
Someday you'll shout, and then no doubt
I'm gonna turn your dial and tune you out
'Cause I don't have to listen to your noise and din
There's plenty other stations I can tune right in
So loud-speakin' papa, you better speak easy to me! (Sh sh)
You better speak easy to me"
[Scatting: Ukulele Mays]
[Bridge ("Patter"): Danny Small]
You're listenin' now to Station W-I-F-E
Your mama is announcin', listen carefully
If you get mama angry, just as sure as you're born
I'm gonna twist your aerial, then I'm gonna bust your horn!
I don't like what you're broadcastin' anyhow
Your program's gettin' stale, it's full of static now
And you know your mama's got an awful powerful set
And there ain't nothin' noways that your mama can't get
[Chorus: Danny Small, Both]
I got a strong suspicion that you will not last
You're wearin' out your storage batteries mighty fast
So loud-speakin' papa, you better speak easy to...
You better speak easy to me!
Loud Speaking Papa was written by Lew Pollack & Jack Yellen.
