TUNESMITH TUESDAY - "Dennis the Menace" by Rosemary Clooney

Continuing the theme from last week...

One of the very first songs I learned as a kid...




Dennis the Menace

Dennis, the menace, 
He's a bundle of dynamite
Oh, the things he says and the things he does
Will make you shake with fright

(Beware of) Dennis the menace
Oh, you'd better be on your toes
There is bound to be a calamity 
no matter where he goes

His mom and dad get nervous
Whenever he's too quiet
They never know what will happen next
A cyclone, flood or riot

Dennis the menace, 
though he makes your hair turn gray
When he looks at you with those eyes of blue
He'll steal your heart away

Last night I got a spanking
I don't know what to think
'Cause all I did was fill my water pistol 
...with ink

Dennis, the menace, 
he's a bundle of dynamite
Oh, the things he says and the things he does
Will make you shake with fright

(Beware of) Dennis the menace
Oh, you'd better be on your toes
There is bound to be a calamity 
no matter where he goes

Now I ask you 
did mommy have to yell at me like that
Just because I watered all those flowers 
on her hat

My daddy love to ride in planes
'Way high up in the sky
He didn't see my roller skates
And oh boy, did he fly

Dennis, the menace, 
He's a bundle of dynamite
Oh, the things he says and the things he does
Will make you shake with fright

(Beware of) Dennis the menace
Oh, you'd better be on your toes
There is bound to be a calamity 
No matter where he goes

We were playing train with daddy's chair
Me and another kid
My daddy said, "Now, break it up"
So that's just what we did

His mom and dad get nervous
Whenever he's too quiet
They never know what will happen next
A cyclone, flood or riot

Dennis the menace, 
though he makes your hair turn gray
When he looks at you with those eyes of blue
He'll steal your hear away
