Текст песни: Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue-Bonnet (With Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians) - Original + перевод

Johnnie Fedora met Alice Bluebonnet

In the window of a department store

'Twas love at first sight and they promised one night

They’d be sweethearts forever more

Johnnie would serenade Alice

Too-ra-lay, too-ra-lye, too-ra-loo!

He sang of a beautiful palace

Of a beautiful hatbox for two

But Johnnie Fedora lost Alice Bluebonnet

To a patron of the department store

Her beauty was sought by the girl she was bought by

For twenty-three ninety-four

Johnnie, oh Johnnie!

Your Alice Bluebonnet

Will always be waiting for you

So don’t give up hoping and don’t give up dreaming

For true love will come smiling through

Johnnie Fedora was lonely and stranded

In the window of the department store

When lo and behold he was suddenly sold

And his heart became gay once more

Johnnie sang out like a robin

Too-ra-lay, too-ra-lye, too-ra-loo!

To strangers he’d come up a-bobbin'

«Oh! I thought you were someone I knew.»

He looked for her uptown and 'cross town and downtown

From the Brooklyn Bridge to the Jersey Shore

It all seemed in vain, till he heard the refrain

Of the song Alice sang of yore

Johnnie, oh Johnnie!

Your Alice Bluebonnet

Will always be waiting for you

So don’t give up hoping and don’t give up dreaming

For true love will come smiling through

Johnnie kept yearning, he kept on returning

To the window of the department store

His voice became hushed, he was literally crushed

And it started to rain and pour

Each place he went he kept calling

Too-ra-lay, too-ra-lye, too-ra-loo!

His spirits kept falling and falling

For his Alice was nowhere in view

But hey nonny nonny, an ice man found Johnnie

And he cut him to fit on his horse’s ears

'Twas done without malice for beside him was Alice

And they lived on for years and years

You Johnnie Fedora’s, you Alice Bluebonnet’s

Whenever you find yourself blue

You’ll find it’s June in December if you’ll just remember

That true love will come smiling through

That true love will come smiling through!
