The Last Name Song Lyrics

James E.F Landau The Last Name Song

ANDREO
Smith-hyphen-Moore-hyphen-Brown-hyphen-Gore,
Some more hyphens with Johnson and Green;
Palmer and Hook, and then Matterson, Cooke,
And Pierce, and then Winters and Dean;
Some more of my family is Drinkwater, Wheatland, then Waters, Fields,
Hopkins and Banks;
There's Studham and Stidham, then add a whole cache
Of more hyphens for Benson and Hawkins and Nash,
Wells-Wheeler and Richmond, then add one more dash --
Make some more room for "Turne" now. Thanks!
Martinez-Melendez-Rodriguez-Menendez,
Garcia, and Ruiz and Ruz;
Calderon and Paz, Barraza-Diaz,
Saenz and Alvarez, Cruz;
Gomez and Suarez and Lopez and Juarez, Zamora, Andrade, Ortegas;
Villanueva, Ojeda and Prado and Sias,
Trujillo-Velazquez-Machado-Casillas,
Riviera-Jimenez-Ortiz-Perez-Dias
Hinojosa-Bermudez and Vegas!
Rivoire-Cartier-Breaux-Lamoureux-Vallée,
Bailly, LeClair and Perot;
And let's not forget Lafayette and Vallette
And Peugeot, Baudelaire, Beliveau!
Laroche-Vaux-Giroux-Beauchamp-LaCasse-Ledoux, and Dupont and Dupris
and DuBose
And after I've recited Bruchon and D'Alain,
And then Brun and LeJean and Caron and Jourdain,
Beaudoin and Mallein and Cézanne, Guillotin,
I can balance this pen on my nose!
Russo-Petrini-Vespucci-Rossini,
Dell'aqua-Farina-Falcone
Moretta and Izzo and, yes, even Zizzo,
Vinci-Gentile-Calderone
Poletta-Guidotti-Puccini-Barsotti, my list is still far from
complete
'Cause there's still Lo Bianco, Lombardo, Rossetti,
Quilici, Costanza, Buono, Allegretti
Of course Malucelli and then Cappelletti
Now, how would you like some to eat?
Cohen-Strauss-Kahn-Kaplan-Levin-Dayan,
Rothschild, Shapiro and Steinberg;
Eppinger-Klein-Goldfarb-Mokoltov-Stein,
Blumenthal, Isaacs and Feinberg;
Rosenberg, Rosenthal, Goldman, and Stahl, Roth and Rothau-Steinau-
Rosenau
There's Silver and Diamant, speaking of which,
Then add Goldberg and Silverstein --
CHENG
Boy, is he rich!
