Trying to remember the lyrics to "The man with the Weird Beard" made famous
by Arthur Godfrey in the early 50's.
Here is what I can remember.

Who is he, What is he
Nobody knows
_____________
head to his toes.
He's the man with the weird beard.

Never had his whiskers sheared
He's the man with the weird beard.

Any of you fellow old-timers remember more of this nonsense? I would like to
convey this to my grandson. He delights in such things.

Also "Heap big smoke and no fire"

Dink...
That seems to be rare. I can't find it in P2P land. A 30 second clip
is here:

Him talk a lot, but him not so hot.
Heap big smoke and no fire.

Dink...
fever heheheheh
fever heh heh

straggely raggely hair on his chin
battered and tattered and ugly as sin
eagle-eyed and floppy-eared
he's the man with the weird beard

who is he? what is he? nobody knows
both of his heels are as bare as his toes
never had his whiskers sheared
he's the man with the weird beard

it ain't black; it ain't white
it ain't short; it ain't long; it ain't right
it's the craziest garden of hair
seven robins live in there

walk with him; talk with him; what do you find?
more on his chin than he's got on his mind
that's the story that i heared
'bout the man with the weird beard

fever heheheheh
fever

straggely raggely hair on his chin
battered and tattered and ugly as sin
eagle-eyed and floppy-eared
he's the man with the weird beard

who is he? what is he? nobody knows
both of his heels are as bare as his toes
never had his whiskers sheared
he's the man with the weird beard

it ain't green (uh-unh) it ain't gray (uh-unh)
it ain't oats; it ain't corn; it ain't hay (nay, nay)
it's a jungle that hangs from his ears
he ain't seen his feet for years

look at him; look at him; dressed in his best
wearing a beaver instead of a vest
you ain't lived until you've heared
'bout the man with the weird beard

fever heheheheh
fever hehehehehhehehehehheheheheh (fades)

I love daft old songs like that, but that one's new to me. I'd love to
see/hear how the tune goes... Anyone got dots (or abcs) for it?


I'll see if I can find heap big smoke..,
