Frank Sinatra feat. Axel Stordahl And His Orchestra - Selections From A Voice On Air (1935-1955)

These Foolish Things (parody) (with Axel Stordahl & His Orchestra) - Rehearsal

- How do you say P-R-O-B-O-S-C-I-S?
- Proboscis
- Proboscis?
- Yeah, rhymes with colossus
- Okay
- Elephant's proboscis
- Your brother's

Each time I see an elephant's proboscis
Or James Durante that all knows colossus
An eagle's beaks on wings
These foolish things remind me of you
Each time I see a straw that someone is sipping
Or an umbrella that's all wet and ripping
And when a sparrow sings
These foolish things remind me of you

I'm thin, so thin
What can I do?
I'm sure that you could use the weight that thing can't seem to lose
Each time I see an egg that ain't been hatched yet
Each time I see an mat that ain't been scratched yet
The hair that once was beings
These foolish things remind me of you

- There it goes one of the big man on this country, yes sir
