The Learner's Brassiere - Allan Sherman

This one I wrote this afternoon

That's the truth

I had written

I had written the first little part of this

And I sang it two weeks ago Sunday

On the Ed Sullivan show

And the song is called Mononucleosis

And

My daughter I talked to her

And she said all the kids in her school

There were a hundred kids in her junior high school

Who had it

And they think it's a real good subject for a song

And that's why I originally wrote it was

That she had come home

With this mononucleosis about six months ago

She's thirteen

And then Life magazine came out a month or so

Later with an article on

It that explained that it was the kissing disease

So I put those two facts together

I'm a very you know thrilling detective

And I was wondering well you know

I'm

I guess I'm old-fashioned because about six months ago

She got one of those learner's brassieres

Well actually she's learning real good

If you want to know

I mean the first couple of weeks

It used to slide down and dangle

Around her ankles and trip her

But she's really getting the hang of it now

Anyway so I dedicated this song sort of to her

Because of the curiosity that was aroused in my mind

By these two things happening at once

And it goes like this

We don't have any arrangement of it

They're just kinda faking it

And we'll just try it

If it works we'll stick it on the album

If not I'll just kill myself

Go ahead
