Bernard Ette: Mister Gallagher and Mister Shean "Mister Gallagher and Mister Shean" Music by Al Shean Words by Ed Gallagher and (uncredited) Bryan Foy Orchester Bernard Etté Vox 1461/1945-B Berlin 12.1923 The comedy team of Ed Gallagher & Al Shean performed this song in vaudeville beginning in 1920. They also used it on Broadway in the 1922 Ziegfeld Follies. The tall, lanky Gallagher wore a pith helmet, while the short and rotund Shean wore a fez. New verses were frequently added to fit special occasions or current events. This is the lyric as transcribed from a 1922 recording by Gallagher and Shean. The entire number is performed in 2/4 time. VERSE 1 Shean: Oh! Mister Gallagher, Oh! Mister Gallagher! Gallagher: Hello, what's on your mind This morning, Mister Shean? Shean: Ev'rybody's making fun Of the way our country's run All the papers say We'll soon live European. Gallagher: Why Mister Shean, Why Mister Shean. On the day they took away Our old canteen, Cost of living went so high That it's cheaper now to die. Shean: Positively, Mister Gallagher. Gallagher: Absolutely, Mister Shean. VERSE 2 Shean: Oh! Mister Gallagher, Oh! Mister Gallagher, If you're a friend of mine, You'll lend me a couple of bucks. I'm so broke and badly bent, And I haven't got a cent. I'm so clean you'd think That I was washed with Lux. Gallagher: Oh! Mister Shean, Oh! Mister Shean, Do you mean to say You haven't got a bean? On my word as I'm alive, I intended touching you for five. Shean: Oh! I thank you Mister Gallagher. Gallagher: You are welcome Mister Shean. VERSE 3 Shean: Oh! Mister Gallagher, Oh! Mister Gallagher, Once I think I saw you save a lady's life In a rowboat out to sea. You were a hero then to me, And I thought perhaps You've made this girl your wife. Gallagher: Oh! Mister Shean, Oh! Mister Shean, As she sunk I dove down like a submarine, Dragged her up upon the shore, Now she's mine forever more. Shean: Who, the lady, Mister Gallagher? Gallagher: No, the rowboat, Mister Shean. VERSE 4 Shean: Oh! Mister Gallagher, Oh! Mister Gallagher, What's the name of that game They play on the links? With a stick they knock the ball Where you can't find it at all, Then the caddie walks around And thinks and thinks. Gallagher: Oh! Mister Shean, Oh! Mister Shean, You don't even know a hazard from a green. Its become a popular game, And you don't even know its name, Shean: Sure it's croquet, Mister Gallagher. Gallagher: No, lawn tennis, Mister Shean. Tags: Array |
