"Don't believe a thing you hear,
nor half of what you see,"
Mother always said to me.
When I was a kid of three.
Now I know that she was right
Right in ev'ry way.
In the papers ev'ry day
Here's what the headlines say.

Chorus girls are darned good cooks,
that's a lot of bunk.
And they love to read good books.
That's a lot of bunk.
Two girls took two boys in their car.
When they got out pretty far,
the boys said: "Stop or we'll tell Ma,"
That's a lot of bunk.
Father get the hammer,
there's a fly on baby's head.

Taxi drivers never cheat.
That's a lot of bunk.
Cops are always on their beat.
That's a lot of bunk.
I took a show girl out with me.
Dined at Café de Paris, she said:
"I'll just have cake and tea!"
That's a lot of bunk.
She knocked my apartment,
and so I knocked her flat.

This fool song has got no sense,
when all is said and done.
Now I think it's lots of fun.
And I've only just begun.
Now I hope the audience
won't think I'm a bore.
And I hope they won't get sore,
'Cause I'm gonna sing some more.

Waiters never take a tip.
That's a lot of bunk.
Car conductors never gyp.
That's a lot of bunk.
Why only just the other day
I 'phoned two thousand miles, and say
I got my number right away
That's a lot of bunk.
Was engaged to a girl with a wooden leg
But I broke it off.

My land lord's a poor old gent.
That's a lot of bunk.
And he's never raised the rent.
That's a lot of bunk.
The cats in all the yards, Oh! my
They sing so sweet, they sing so high
I love to hear their lullaby
That's a lot of bunk.
Ww got a goat without any nose,
But gosh how he can smell.
