Barney Google (1923) - The Andrews Sisters

Who’s the most important man this country ever knew?

Do you know what politician I have reference to?

Well, it isn’t Mr. Bryan, and it isn’t Mr. Hughes

I’ve got a hunch that to that bunch I’m going to introduce:

(Again you’re wrong and to this throng I’m going to Introduce:)

Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes

Barney Google bet his horse would win the prize

When the horses ran that day, Spark Plug ran the other way

Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes

Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes

Barney Google had a wife three times his size

She stood Barney for divorce

Now he’s living with his horse

Who’s the greatest lover that this country ever knew?

And who’s the man that Valentino takes his hat off to?

No, it isn’t Douglas Fairbanks that the ladies rave about

When he arrives, who makes the wives chase all their husbands

Out?

Why, it’s Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes

Barney Google is the guy who never buys

Women take him out to dine, then he steals the waiter’s dime

Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes

Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes

Barney Google is the luckiest of guys

If he fell in to the mud, he’d come up with a diamond stud

Barney Google with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes

Who’s the greatest fire chief this country ever saw?

Who’s the man who loves to hear the blazing buildings roar?

Anytime the house is burning, and the flames leap all about

Say, tell me do, who goes, «kerchoo!»

and puts the fire out?

Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes

Barney Google, thought his horse could win the prize

He got odds of ten to eight;

Spark Plug came in three days late

Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes

Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes

Barney Google tried to enter paradise

When Saint Peter saw his face, he said, «Go to the other place»

Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes
