The Andrews Sisters - Johnny Fedora And Alice Blue Bonnet lyrics

Johnnie Fedora met Alice Bluebonnet In the window of a department store 'Twas love at first sight and they promised one night They'd be sweethearts forever more Johnnie would serenade Alice Too-ra-lay, too-ra-lye, too-ra-loo! He sang of a beautiful palace Of a beautiful hatbox for two But Johnnie Fedora lost Alice Bluebonnet To a patron of the department store Her beauty was sought by the girl she was bought by For twenty-three ninety-four Johnnie, oh Johnnie! Your Alice Bluebonnet Will always be waiting for you So don't give up hoping and don't give up dreaming For true love will come smiling through Johnnie Fedora was lonely and stranded In the window of the department store When lo and behold he was suddenly sold And his heart became gay once more Johnnie sang out like a robin Too-ra-lay, too-ra-lye, too-ra-loo! To strangers he'd come up a-bobbin' "Oh! I thought you were someone I knew." He looked for her uptown and 'cross town and downtown From the Brooklyn Bridge to the Jersey Shore It all seemed in vain, till he heard the refrain Of the song Alice sang of yore Johnnie, oh Johnnie! Your Alice Bluebonnet Will always be waiting for you So don't give up hoping and don't give up dreaming For true love will come smiling through Johnnie kept yearning, he kept on returning To the window of the department store His voice became hushed, he was literally crushed And it started to rain and pour Each place he went he kept calling Too-ra-lay, too-ra-lye, too-ra-loo! His spirits kept falling and falling For his Alice was nowhere in view But hey nonny nonny, an ice man found Johnnie And he cut him to fit on his horse's ears 'Twas done without malice for beside him was Alice And they lived on for years and years You Johnnie Fedora's, you Alice Bluebonnet's Whenever you find yourself blue You'll find it's June in December if you'll just remember That true love will come smiling through That true love will come smiling through!
