"The Last Straw" lyrics - PERRY COMO

Perry...
Yes?
What's the matter?
Ah! With all the girls in the world
I gotta get tangled up with an acrobat!
What kinda crack is that?
Well, listen...

I gulped a little goldfish
From a goldfish bowl
Well, that proves your age!
Once I spent a weekend
On a cold flagpole!
Look Ma, no hands!
Went over old Niagara
In a leaky canoe
You betcha!
I even charmed a cobra
With a blue kazoo
I tied my little cousin
To a railroad track
Ouch!
I put the next to last straw
On the camel's back
But the LAST STRAW!
I mean the very LAST STRAW!
Was to fall in love with you...

Mr. Como!
Are you quite through?
Well!
Well, listen to this...

I went and dug for oysters,
In the Klondike Rush,
I lost a whole safari
In an underbrush
That isn't easy!
Went over the Sahara
On an old pair of skies
I did some acrobatics
On the high trapeze

Look Man no hands!
I found a green banana
In some cracker jack
I placed the next to last straw
On the camel's back
But the LAST STRAW!
I mean the very LAST STRAW!
Was to fall in love with you...

All right MAN, top that!

I made an ocean voyage
On a floatin' log
That's nothin'
I've held a conversation
With a talking dog...
Victor of course!
I saved up nearly twenty-thousand
Pop bottle tops
Well, listen to this...
I designed the paper pants
For loin lamb chops
I tried to find a barber
Who would cut my hair
But Baby Doll,
Whatever maka you picka my chair?
Well, that's the LAST STRAW!
I mean the very LAST STRAW!
'Cause I fell in love with you...

But Perry...
You winked at me in Woolworth's
On the second floor!
But I thought you were the Hutton girl
That owned that BIG store!
Well, that's the LAST STRAW!
I mean the very LAST STRAW!
'Cause I fell in love with you...
