Louis Prima - It's Good As New (I Painted It Blue). Written and performed by Louis Prima.
One rainy morning my wife and I we thought we'd spend the day In tidying up the attic lots 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 telling you it looked as good as new
Oh, I bless 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 pushed it there to bring it up to style The neighbors all came to see it, well you should have seen them smile The traffic was getting heavy, so the cops came around one day And said for the sake of propriety do 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 telling you it looked as good as new
Oh, I bless 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
It must have made the women stare a hundred years ago It's as 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!
Oh, I bless 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!
