blossom dearie - my new celebrity is you lyrics
i dig modigliani
jolson doin’ “swanee”
several maharanee are my intimates, too
i played with montovani
that’s a lot of string to get through
but anyone can see
my new celebrity is you
i’ve sung with ethel merman
swung with woody herman
played a gig in germany with ogerman(1) too
i nodded at a sermon, billy graham barely got through
but anyone can see
my new celebrity is you
i’m not a bit
ashamed of it
a rapier wit
kept serge kousevitsky(2) in line
i’d reprimand
the dorsey band
right on the stand
’cause annie’s cousin f_nny was a sweetie(3) of mine
i’ve golfed with lee trevino
won at the casino
danced “the piccolino”(4)
when the movie was new
spent the night with dino
had to sleep with jerry lewis too(5)
but anyone can see
my new celebrity is you
i’ve swooned at mia farrow
angular and narrow
drove her pierce arrow(6) to a gatsby review
tho frozen to the marrow
who would dream of leaving that queue
but anyone can see
my new celebrity is you
her husband, andre previn
absolutely heaven
even herman levin(7)
wants to hire him, too
and as for lady bevan(8)…
we were both in labor, that’s true
but anyone can see
my new celebrity is you
i played the uke
with vernon duke
so well in dubuque
that vladimir dukelsky(9) said, “gee!”
my fingering a certain string
was such a big thing
that f_nny’s cousin annie’s
taking lessons from me
i’m quite a fan of lena
close to katrina(10)
very fond of gina lollobrigida(11), too
and as for pasadena
everybody there’s an old shoe
but anyone can see
my new celebrity is you
i see muhammed ali
clanking goes my trolley(12)
starred in “h_llo dolly”
when it ran out of blue
and salvatore dali
he did a little sketch of me, too
but anyone can see
my new celebrity is you
i’ve drunk with willie harbach(13)
also roger stauback(14)
wriggled pretty far back
when you start to pursue
and talk about your star back…
tarkenton(15) can scramble some, too
but anyone can see
my new celebrity is you
you need a pair to give an air
of fashion and flair
have bob and danny zarem (16) fly down
the older set’ll need a pet
so who do you get…
well danny has a granny(17) who’s the talk of the town
the incidents may vary
jack and mary benny(18)
nick and sister kenny(19)
made the scene for me, too
like little lottie lenya(20)
helped to entertain at chez nous(21)
where everyone could see
my new celebrity is you
toast d_ck and barbara carroll(22)
d_ck is for apparel
barbara plays a barrel
house piano beaucoup(23)
try paging charlie farrell(24)…
he’ll do “seventh heaven(25)” on cue
but anyone can see
my new celebrity is you
dear d_ck and betty dorso(26)
talks to fit the torso
who could feature more so_
phisticated lapels
and when i mention orso
i refer to bean and not welles(27)
still anyone can see
my new celebrity is you
when steve mcqueen and
bennie green(28) and
geoffrey beane(29)
tried handing joey bushkin(30) a laugh
both mannie klein(31) and jule styne(32)
were limp on the vine
till franny hollered manny(33)
“that’s a nose and a half(34)”
then there was louis nizer(35)
kay and georgia kayser(36)
lana, lorna, liza(37) lining up for a few
mick jagger, my advisor
he was there to take a bow, too
but anyone could see
my new celebrity is you
in case you are a wet_so
or you want to get so
danny levisto(38) serves a heavenly brew
but if you hate the jets
so amble on to mike’s(39) for a few
where anyone can see
my new celebrity is you
we’ll find minerva pius(40)
frederick delius(41)
helmut zacharias(42)
at a table for two
and leaning on the bias
kloppman(43) might be slightly askew
but anyone can see
my new celebrity is you
meet lanny ross
and annie ross(44)
and harry the horse(45)
so high in damon runyon’s(46) esteem
dig ed mcmahon(47)
and choo choo train
and shirley maclaine(48)
when annie sings with lanny(49) “the impossible dream(50)”
so scorpio or taurus
grab and old thesaurus…
write yourself a chorus
for your favorite few
these people who adore us…
they’re the ones to blow a kiss to
but don’t forget cherie
my new celebrity is you
anyone can see
my new celebrity is you
