What are the lyrics to "Tale of the shirt?"
the song was written by Irving Berlin with music from the opera Carmen. The song was performed in the Marx Brothers film coconuts. the lyrics are nowhere to be found on the Internet.
"The story of a shirt" Irving Berlin I want my shirt, I want my shirt. I can not be happy without my shirt! He wants his shirt, he wants his shirt. No one can be happy without a shirt! I do not want food, I do not want to drink. Because my feelings are hurt! I do not want food, he will not drink. He wants nothing more than the shirt! My shirt! My shirt! No his hat and tie, and his shoes covered with dirt. My shirt! My shirt! No jacket and vest. And no pants, but he wants his shirt. I want my shirt, I want my shirt. Because my feelings more damage. He wants his shirt, he wants his shirt. He wants nothing more than the shirt! He has it! He has it! He has it! He has it! He is what I have! He has it! He has it! He has it! I have my shirt, thank God I have my shirt! I have my shirt. I have my shirt. You never know how deeply I was hurt. I thought he had lost his shirt. Twas given to me by my brother Bert. His brother Bert. That's why I love this shirt. My shirt, my shirt, my shirt! His shirt, shirt, shirt. He has found his shirt. You have found your shirt! Now I've found my shirt … Goodbye! ****************************************** What is the original version. The script version is a bit different. I understand what you mean by that is hard to find on the internet, but that is out there. Finally I found in Google Books. "The letters complete songs of Irving Berlin "is being called. I've included the link. The start points and the bottom of page 239 and ends on page 240. This also has version script, if that's what I was looking for.
