Morris (Remastered) – Mel Blanc

January 10, 2023

lyrics:

there’s a killer killer wrestler
he’s as rough as he can be
he can mangle anyone
from here to cancankee (?)
and what do you think his name is
what do you think his name is
Morris
~ Morris?

there’s a movie star in Hollywood
that’s handsome as can be
women look at him and faint away in ecstasy
and what do you think his name is
what do you think his name is
Morris
~ Morris?

it used to be that every other fellow’s name was Joe
but now you hear a new name everywhere you go
the fellows laughed at Oscar for the funny name he had
and so he changed his name to one that didn’t seem so bad
and what do you think his name is
what do you think his name is
Morris
~ Morris?

now the other day they brought a big gorilla to the zoo
they had to find a name to suit a monster ten foot two
and what do you think his name is
what do you think his name is
Morris
~ Morris?

it used to be that every other fellow’s name was Joe
but now you hear a new name everywhere you go
all the fellows laughed at Huebert for the funny name he had
and so he changed his name to one that didn’t seem so bad
and what do you think his name is
what do you think his name is
Morris
~ Morris?

I’ve always said to have a son would be my greatest joy
and then at last the stork sent down an 8-pound baby boy
now what do you think his name is
what do you think his name is
Melvin
~ Melvin?

…(?) I’m not sure how to spell cancankee, it’s what he says, or something similar. There is a Kankakee Illinois. Anyway, this song came on Pandora a while back and I thought I’d share.
