My New Celebrity Is You Lyrics – Blossom Dearie

Singer: Blossom Dearie
Title: My New Celebrity Is You

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 Fanny 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 Fanny’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 “Hello 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 Dick and Barbara Carroll(22)
Dick 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 Dick 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

Itu banyak string untuk melewati
Tetapi siapa pun dapat melihat
Selebriti baru saya adalah Anda

Berayun dengan Woody Herman
Memainkan pertunjukan di Jerman dengan Ogerman (1) juga
Saya mengangguk pada khotbah, Billy Graham hampir tidak berhasil
Tetapi siapa pun dapat melihat

Selebriti baru saya adalah Anda
Saya tidak sedikit
Malu itu
Seorang rapier wit.

Simpan Serge Kousevitsky (2) sejalan
Saya akan menegur
The Dorsey Band
Tepat di dudukan

Karena Fanny Sepupu Annie adalah seorang kekasih (3) milikku
Saya sudah bermain golf dengan Lee Trevino
Menang di kasino
Menari “The Piccolino” (4)

Ketika film itu baru
Menghabiskan malam dengan Dino
Harus tidur dengan Jerry Lewis juga (5)
Tetapi siapa pun dapat melihat

Selebriti baru saya adalah Anda
Saya sudah pingsan di Mia Farrow
Sudut dan sempit
Mengendarai panah Pierce (6) ke ulasan Gatsby

Tho beku ke sumsum
Siapa yang akan bermimpi meninggalkan antrian itu
Tetapi siapa pun dapat melihat
Selebriti baru saya adalah Anda

Suaminya, Andre Previn
Benar-benar surga
Bahkan Herman Levin (7)
Ingin mempekerjakannya juga

Dan untuk wanita Bevan (8) …
Kami berdua dalam persalinan, itu benar
Tetapi siapa pun dapat melihat
Selebriti baru saya adalah Anda

Saya memainkan uce
Dengan Vernon Duke.
Sangat baik di dubuque
Bahwa Vladimir Dukelsky (9) berkata, “Wah!”

String tertentu saya
Adalah hal yang sangat besar
Bahwa sepupu Fanny Annie
Mengambil pelajaran dari saya

Membintangi “Halo Dolly”
Ketika kehabisan biru
Dan Salvatore Dali.

Dia melakukan sedikit sketsa dari saya juga
Tetapi siapa pun dapat melihat
Selebriti baru saya adalah Anda
Saya sedang mabuk dengan Willie Harbach (13)

Juga Roger Stauback (14)
Menggeliat cukup jauh ke belakang
Ketika Anda mulai mengejar
Dan berbicara tentang Bintang Anda kembali …

Tarkenton (15) dapat berebut beberapa
Tetapi siapa pun dapat melihat
Selebriti baru saya adalah Anda
Anda perlu pasangan untuk memberikan udara

Fashion dan bakat
Memiliki Bob dan Danny Zarem (16) terbang ke bawah

Ketika Steve McQueen dan
Bennie Green (28) dan
Geoffrey Beane (29)

Mencoba menyerahkan Joey Bushkin (30) tawa
Baik Mannie Klein (31) dan Jule Styne (32)
Lemas di pohon anggur

“Itu hidung dan setengah (34)”
Lalu ada Louis Nizer (35)
Kay dan Georgia Kayser (36)
Lana, Lorna, Liza (37) berbaris untuk beberapa

Mick Jagger, penasihat saya
Dia ada di sana untuk mengambil busur juga
Tetapi siapa pun bisa melihat
Selebriti baru saya adalah Anda

Atau Anda ingin mendapatkannya

Tetapi jika Anda membenci jet

Jadi amble ke Mike’s (39) untuk beberapa
Di mana ada yang bisa melihat
Selebriti baru saya adalah Anda
Kami akan menemukan Minerva Pius (40)

Frederick Delius (41)
Helmut Zacharias (42)
Di meja untuk dua
Dan bersandar pada bias

Kloppman (43) mungkin sedikit miring
Tetapi siapa pun dapat melihat
Selebriti baru saya adalah Anda
Bertemu Lanny Ross.

Dan Annie Ross (44)
Dan Harry the Horse (45)
Sangat tinggi dalam harga damon runyon (46)
Gali Ed McMahon (47)

Dan choo choo train
