Start Off Each Day With A Song-Jimmy Durante/Al Jolson/Bing Crosby

Start Off Each Day With A Song - Jimmy Durante You gotta start off each day with a song Now even when things go wrong You'll feel better, you'll even look better I'm here to tell you that you'll be a go-getter Now the way that you shake my hand Will tell me how I stand Now isn't it better to go through life With a smile and a song Than walking around with a face 11 miles long Now you know that you can't go wrong If you start off each day with a song You gotta start off each day with a song (Oh, sing it to me boy) Even when things go wrong (Sing it for the hoi-poloi) You'll feel better, you'll even look better Ah, that music it does somethin' to me I wish I knew what it was Last night I was telling Umbriago About my latest concerto Called Tony's push cart He said Tony's push cart, how does it go I said it doesn't go you have to push it Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha I got a million of 'em, a million of 'em Now you know that you can't go wrong (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes) If you start off each day with a song You gotta start off each, boys please, soft, soft A little more fortissimo, I wanna relate a yarn Turn back the pages of history and what do you see Madison Square Garden, a Rodeo And there I was, interviewing a prize winning cow I asked her to tell the radio public how she feels She said moo, she's contented I'm contented but her husband ain't So what happens? The bull ups to me, I ups to him And without any preliminaries, I'm flat on my back Being a gentlemen I apologize nut the bull's not satisfied He demands an autopsy So I grabs him by the tail and what happens He flips his tail, I lands on his head He flips his head, I lands on his tail He's playing ping, pong with me and I'm losing Just then the bull is ready to charge again I gets an idea I starts singing, 'South Of The Border Down Mexico Way' And what happens, the bull starts crying But even regardless I keeps on singin' This time with the castanets That's too much for the bull and he collapses A cheer goes up, I'm saved and the moral is You've gotta start off each day with a song You gotta start off each day with a song (oh boy your singing now) Even when things go wrong (Oh, Jimmy your a wow) You'd feel better You know I'm walking down Broadway And who taps me on the shoulder My pal, Hit 'Em In The Head Schwartz I said who you working for now He said the same bunch The wife and the kids Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha Now isn't it better to go through life with a smile and a song Then walking around with a face 11 miles long Now you know that you can't go wrong (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes) If you start off each day with a song
