Chords for Mills Brothers on The Jack Benny Program (Part 1)

_ [A] _ _ [A#] _ _ [F#] _ _
The Jack Benny Program.
And here they [G#] are, the incomparable Mills Brothers. _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ Well, I introduce you, I know they're [D] waiting for you to sing, so go right ahead.
_ _ Oh, baby, I'm, [C#] oh, baby, I'm, oh, [N] baby, I'm, oh, baby, I'm a rockin' horse.
This ain't gonna work.
_ This ain't gonna work.
We can't do it this way.
Wait, what happened?
Wait, I mean, why'd you stop singing?
Mr.
Benny, this isn't gonna work.
We can't sing, uh, just the two of us.
You know there are four of us.
I know.
Well, then why did you hire only two?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Look, for your price, I was only gonna hire one. _
[D] But I thought it'd look kind of silly, [A] you know, [N] in the ad,
Jack Benny presents the Mills Brothers.
_ _ Hey, Herb, it seems this gentleman hired as few of us as possible
to still retain the plural.
Yes, yes, that's it.
Now, now go ahead and sing, yeah?
But it can't be done this hard.
Oh, for heaven's sake, I know, but everybody worries.
I mean, no confidence.
I mean, the same thing happened when I hired the Will Maston Trio.
All right, I didn't have Sammy Davis Jr.,
but I thought the uncle and the father were wonderful.
_ Now, I'll admit that the center of the stage was a little bit bare,
but what's the difference?
_ Let's not discuss in front of an audience money or anything.
It makes you look cheap. _
You know what [D#] I mean.
Just go ahead and sing.
It can't be done.
It's too rough.
Well, let's put it this way.
Do you play your violin with only two strings?
[N] All the time.
_ _ _ Now go ahead and sing.
It's just impossible.
I'll tell you what we'll do.
I'll tell you what we'll do.
See, my youngest brother and our accompanist is in the wings.
Yeah.
And if we sang the song without them, it would sound bad.
They would feel bad.
So do you mind if they join us?
Well, if your relatives want to help you out,
all right with me, you know, I'm running a comedy show,
not a court of human relations.
_ _ All right.
Bring them out there.
OK, come on out, fellas. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Mr.
Benny.
_ Mr.
Benny, are you sure you don't mind?
No, of course I don't mind.
I mean, look, I hired these two.
These are my guest stars.
If they want guest stars, it's up to them.
_ _ _ _ Now go ahead.
What _ was that?
Our agent. _ _
OK, you're such a nice fellow.
_ You go ahead and sing and I'll call the ambulance. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Oh, [G] baby, I'm racking my brain to think of a [Gm] name
to give to this scoop so very can prune.
[E] And maybe old things will give it a fling.
And now we start everyone [D] humming a thing.
[G] The melody's done, repeat and repeat.
[Gm] And if they can't swing, it's got a good beat.
[Am] And that's the main thing [D] to make it complete.
[G] Because everyone's swinging today.
So [Gm] we're going to go first [Cm] one,
not fourth, [A#] Sammy, K, K, [C] K, K.
[D#] So [F] first one, got [C#] you swinging that swing, [D] baby.
[Em] And Mr.
Les Brown can make it rain down.
[C] And Ray Anthony can rock it for me.
[Am] And never a doubt, [D] your luck is about.
[Em] Whatever you can hear over the phone.
Oh, baby, I'm racking my brain to think of a name
[C] to give to this scoop so very can prune.
[Am] And maybe old [D] things will give it a fling.
And now we start everyone humming a thing.
[G] The melody's done, repeat and repeat.
[Gm] And if they can't swing, it's got a good beat.
[Am] And that's the main [D] thing to make it complete.
Because everyone's [Em] swinging today.
So [Gm] we're going to go first one,
not fourth, Sammy, K, K, K, K.
[F] So first one, got you swinging [C#] that swing, [G] baby.
[Em] And Mr.
Les Brown can make it rain down.
[C] And Ray Anthony, he can rock it for me.
[Em] And no doubt, _ _ [E] it's all [G] plus one. _
_ [C] _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
