The Pessimistic Character (Empire Central Radio, 1940's)
Throw him out the window, he can’t stay How did he get in here anyway? What do we want with him? Around the place The pessimistic character with the crab apple face
When he hears a joke he always cries When there’s any fun, he darn near dies What do you say we laugh at his sad case? The pessimistic character with the crab apple face
He’s never welcome Anywhere he goes Let him stay where he belongs In a book of Edgar Alan pose, why don’t we lose him?
Wrap him in a blanket carefully Throw him out the window 1 2 3 It’ll be great to wear a grinning chase The pessimistic character with the crab apple face
Don’t you ever let him get you all alone He’s the worst companion ever known He doesn’t know how to keep a merry face The pessimistic character with the crab apple face
When there’s any trouble how he boasts He enjoys a graveyard and he loves ghosts Smile he’ll disappear and leave no trace That old fuddy duddy with the crab apple face
He’s got a hand shake Just like a lemon peel He’s the sole of discontent With the disposition of a heel, oh what a icky
He’s no good at dancing, he can’t sing He despises rainbows and he hates spring Why do we want him in the human race? The pessimistic character with the crab apple face
