Good Advice - Allan Sherman[00:00:01]
I know a man named Otis who invented a room [00:00:10]
And his heart was filled with pride [00:00:14]
I said to Mr Otis "What does your room do "[00:00:17]
He said "It goes from side to side "[00:00:21]
So I said "Mr Otis if you take my advice [00:00:25]
You'll be the richest man in town [00:00:28]
You gotta take that room that goes from side to side [00:00:31]
And make it go up and down "[00:00:35]
And that was good advice good advice [00:00:38]
Good advice costs nothing and it's worth the price [00:00:43]
I sincerely doubt[00:00:46]
That the world could do without[00:00:48]
My good advice [00:00:49]
Sir Isaac Newton came around to my house one day [00:00:57]
His face was all sunburned and red [00:01:00]
He said he didn't want to sleep in the shade of a tree [00:01:04]
Because an apple might fall on his head [00:01:07]
I said "Sir Isaac you dumbbell take my advice [00:01:11]
Go right back there and sleep beneath that tree [00:01:15]
And if you let that rotten apple fall down on your head [00:01:18]
Why you'll discover gravity "[00:01:22]
And that was good advice good advice [00:01:26]

My good advice [00:01:37]
A man named Mr Waterman invented a tube [00:01:44]
He was sad because it sprung a little leak [00:01:47]
He said "Darn it when I hold my tube on a piece of paper [00:01:51]
The ink leaks out and makes a little streak "[00:01:55]
He said "I've gotta find a way to stop that leak [00:01:59]
I'll start working on my leakproof tube again "[00:02:02]
I said "Waterman you idiot don't stop that leak [00:02:05]
You just invented a fountain pen "[00:02:09]

One for each letter from A to Z "[00:02:50]

Wilbur and Orville were two brothers named Wright [00:03:19]
The nicest pair of kids you've ever seen [00:03:22]
They worked twelve years on a secret project [00:03:26]

I said "Fellas what are all those wings for "[00:03:33]
They said "For hanging clothes out to dry "[00:03:37]

Ooga Magoog was a Neanderthal man [00:05:11]
A very poorly educated soul [00:05:14]
He had a great big square thing made of solid stone [00:05:18]
And in the middle of it was a hole [00:05:22]
One day he had to go from his cave in Natchez[00:05:25]
To his uncle's cave in Mobile [00:05:29]

So he made all his friends stand around all day [00:06:07]
And tell him all their secrets and their dreams [00:06:10]

I keep hearing the voice of Uncle Myer "[00:06:57]
I said "Mr Graham Cracker " (that was my little joke)[00:07:01]
"With that wire you got the world in your palm [00:07:05]

Christopher Columbus was a seaman second class[00:07:35]
When I told him that the Indies could be found[00:07:38]
By sailing to the West instead of sailing to the East [00:07:42]
I advised him that I thought the world was round [00:07:45]
(I really thought so )[00:07:48]
And then I sent him down to ask good Queen Isabella[00:07:49]
To pawn her jewels for all their worth [00:07:52]
Next day he set sail and as everyone knows [00:07:56]
He fell off the edge of the Earth [00:08:00]
