When I Was a Lad - Allan Sherman[00:00:00]

When I was a lad I went to Yale[00:00:11]

And I knew then that I could never fail[00:00:14]

For I studied very hard and furthermore[00:00:16]

I polished up the apple for the professor[00:00:18]

He polished up the apple for the professor[00:00:21]

I polished up the apple so frequently[00:00:23]

That soon I had a Phi Beta Kappa Key[00:00:25]

He soon had a Phi Beta Kappa key[00:00:28]

From polishing the apple very frequently[00:00:30]

On graduation day I made a stop[00:00:32]

At a very exclusive clothing shop[00:00:35]

I opened up a charge account and asked them for[00:00:37]

The best grade flannel in the clothing store[00:00:40]

The best grade flannel in the clothing store[00:00:42]

That suit was a part of a great intrigue[00:00:44]

For it proved I was a member of the Ivy League[00:00:47]

It was part of a great intrigue[00:00:49]

For it proved he was a member of the Ivy League[00:00:52]

Then I got a crew cut and a sincere tie[00:00:54]

And for my first job I did apply[00:00:56]

A job in an advertising agency[00:00:59]

Sharpening the pencils of a big VP[00:01:01]

Oh he honed a lot of pencils for a big VP[00:01:04]

I sharpened all the pencils so pointedly[00:01:06]

That now I am a partner in the agency[00:01:08]

He sharpened all the pencils so pointedly[00:01:11]

That now he is a member of the agency[00:01:13]

I kept my ears open and my big mouth shut[00:01:17]

And I learned all the agency's scuttlebutt[00:01:19]

I learned who was going out with whom[00:01:21]

And who had the keys to the powder room[00:01:24]

And who had the keys to the powder room[00:01:27]

For the keys to the powder room you see[00:01:29]

Is the key to the structure of the agency[00:01:31]

The keys to the powder room is the key[00:01:34]

To the structure of the agency[00:01:37]

I worked real hard for the dear old firm[00:01:39]

I learned most every advertising term[00:01:41]

I said to the men in the dark gray suits[00:01:44]

"Let's run it up the flagpole and see who salutes"[00:01:46]

Let's run it up the flagpole and see who salutes[00:01:49]

I ran it up the flagpole perfectly[00:01:51]

So now I am a partner in the agency[00:01:53]

He ran it up the flagpole perfectly[00:01:56]

So now he is a partner in the agency[00:01:58]

Now I have a big office at the end of the hall[00:02:00]

With very fancy carpeting from wall to wall[00:02:03]

I keep my mouth open and I keep my ears shut[00:02:05]

And I've got a little palace in Connecticut[00:02:08]

And he's got a little palace in Connecticut[00:02:10]

So I thank old Yale and I thank the Lord[00:02:14]

And I also thank my father who was Chairman of the Board[00:02:22]

And he's grateful to his father[00:02:24]

Yes he's grateful to his father[00:02:25]

Yes he's grateful to his father[00:02:26]

Who was Chairman of the Board[00:02:28]
