(Hoping You Are The Same)] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Learner's Brassiere - Allan Sherman [00:00.75]This one I wrote this afternoon [00:02.24] [00:03.99]That's the truth [00:04.78]I had written [00:06.06]I had written the first little part of this [00:07.77]And I sang it two weeks ago Sunday [00:08.52] [00:09.10]On the Ed Sullivan show [00:10.63]And the song is called Mononucleosis [00:12.67] [00:14.04]And [00:14.82]My daughter I talked to her [00:16.58]And she said all the kids in her school [00:17.39]There were a hundred kids in her junior high school [00:17.71] [00:19.35]Who had it [00:20.15]And they think it's a real good subject for a song [00:22.21] [00:23.05]And that's why I originally wrote it was [00:24.93]That she had come home [00:25.80]With this mononucleosis about six months ago [00:27.41] [00:27.95]She's thirteen [00:28.70] [00:29.30]And then Life magazine came out a month or so [00:33.02]Later with an article on [00:34.14]It that explained that it was the kissing disease [00:36.53]So I put those two facts together [00:38.08]I'm a very you know thrilling detective [00:40.50] [00:41.02]And I was wondering well you know [00:43.25]I'm [00:43.69]I guess I'm old-fashioned because about six months ago [00:46.50]She got one of those learner's brassieres [00:48.02] [00:56.18]Well actually she's learning real good [00:57.72]If you want to know [00:58.61] [01:00.85]I mean the first couple of weeks [01:02.05]It used to slide down and dangle [01:03.23]Around her ankles and trip her [01:04.48] [01:06.56]But she's really getting the hang of it now [01:08.28] [01:14.89]Anyway so I dedicated this song sort of to her [01:18.55]Because of the curiosity that was aroused in my mind [01:21.89]By these two things happening at once [01:24.87] [01:27.43]And it goes like this [01:28.06]We don't have any arrangement of it [01:28.30] [01:29.36]They're just kinda faking it [01:30.17]And we'll just try it [01:31.25]If it works we'll stick it on the album [01:32.09]If not I'll just kill myself [01:34.38] [01:36.73]Go ahead
