Louis Prima — It’s Good as New

One rainy morning, my wife and I We thought we'd spend the day In tidying up the attic Lot's 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 tellin' you It looked as good as new! Oh, I blessed 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've seen 'em smile! The traffic was getting heavy Till the cops came round one day And said for the sake of propriety To 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 tellin' you It looked as good as new! Oh, I blessed the day it came my way My wife is happier too I feel like a boy and life's a joy It looks 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 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 tellin' you It looked as good as new Oh, I blessed the day it came my way My wife is happier too I feel like a boy and life's a joy And it looks as good as new Honest and true, honest and true I feel like a boy and life's a joy And it looks as good as new Honest and true
