Dean Martin - The Old Calliope lyrics

[Dean Martin - The Old Calliope lyrics]

My grandpa was a minstrel man
A minstrel man was he
And to tell the truth I guess I've
Got some minstrel blood in me

You can have all the harps in heaven
Blow all the horns here on the ground
But, I find I still get my greatest thrill
Every time I hear this sound

I love to hear that old calliope
I love the melody of an old calliope
And when you hear the thrilling harmony
Gather round the minstrel's show's in town

It sounds so good that old calliope
What is more heavenly than an old calliope
Here comes the band oh, what a sight to see
Gather round the minstrel's show's in town

Banjos strumming folks are humming


Minstrel's coming what a show what a show
It's the finest show I know

It's coming near Coming near coming near
That old calliope what a sight to see
Oh, what a melody what a melody
Oh the old calliope old calliope
So loud and clear that thrilling harmony
Gather round the minstrel's show's in town

There's the interlocutor
And Mr bones so full of life
Who's that lady you were with last night
That was no lady that was my wife ha ha
Ha Ha ho ho

Ho ho what a show what a show what a show
Says the interlocutor
To Mr bones so full of pride
Why does a chicken cross the road
Why to get to the other side

I love to hear that old calliope
I love the melody of an old calliope
And when you hear that thrilling harmony
Gather round the minstrel's show's in town
