It s Good As New (I Painted It Blue) - Keely Smith Louis Prima

One rainy morning my wife

And I we thought we'd spend the day

In tidying up the attic lots of things were in the way

Well what do you think we came across

I blushed I felt so bad

You'd pay a fortune for one of those things

If another one could be had

So I picked it up and dusted it off

And then I painted it blue

And honest to goodness

I'm telling you it looked as good as new

Oh I bless the day it came my way

My wife is happier too

I feel like a boy and life's a joy

It looked as good as new

Honest and true

Honest and true

As good as new

I shoved it here and I pushed it there

To bring it up to style

The neighbors all came to see it

Well you should have seen them smile

The traffic was getting heavy

So the cops came around one day

And said for the sake of propriety do hide it far away

Cause I picked it up and dusted it off

And then I painted it blue

And honest to goodness I'm telling

You it looked as good as new

Oh I bless the day it came my way

My wife is happier too

I feel like a boy and life's a joy

It looked as good as new

Honest and true

Honest and true

As good as new

It must have made the women stare a hundred years ago

It's as good as the day they made it

And I really ought to know

Some are too big and some are small

And some are painted green

But mine is by far the nicest one

That I have ever seen

So I picked it up and I dusted it off

And then I painted it blue

And honest to goodness

I'm telling you it looked as good as new

Oh I bless the day it came my way

My wife is happier too

I feel like a boy and life's a joy

It looked as good as new

Honest and true

Honest and true

I feel like a boy and life's a joy

It looked as good as new

Honest and true
