SPIKE JONES
"My Old Flame"

My old flame
I can't even think of her name...
But it's funny now and then,
How my thoughts go flashing back again to
My old flame
I've met so many who had fascinatin' ways
A fascinatin' gaze in their eyes!
Some who took me up to the skies!
But their attempts at love were only imitations of
My old flame
I can't even think of her name
But I'll never be the same until I discover what became of
My old flame

[Evil wheezy laughing]

My old Flame
I can't even think of her name

"I'll have to look through my collection of human heads!"

But it's funny now and then
How my thoughts go flashing back again to
My old flame
My old flame,
My, my new lovers all seem so tame

"They, they they won't even let me strangle them!"

For I haven't met a girl
So magnificent or elegant as
My old flame
I, I, I've met so many
Who had fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eye!

"I sewed this eye, so I removed the other eye!
That eye that kept winking and blinking at other men it'llsmakess sss ist ist [Stammering]"

Some who took me up to the skies!
But their attempts at love were only imitations of
My old flame
I, I can't even think of her name!

"Whe-wh-whe [Stammering again] WHAT WAS HER NAME?"

"Doris, Laura, Cloe, Manny, Moe, Jack?"

"No, it couldn't have been Moe...
I can't stand it, I tell you!
This is driving me sane! eh ees ehh [Wheezy stammering]"
...
She would always treat me mean
So I poured a can of gasoline
And struck a match to
My old flame...
