<br>

VERONICA & the QUARTET: <br>

In the evening by the moonlight, you should drop, <br>

you folks should drop down to the old barbershop.<br>

<br>

VERONICA: <br>

Old barbershop...<br>

down in the great big rathskeller<br>

where a swell colored fella,<br>

by the name of Bill Jefferson Lord<br>

<br>

QUARTET: played the piano while he'd sing a song<br>

VERONICA: Mmm-mmm.<br>

QUARTET: He just sang and played the whole night long.<br>

<br>

VERONICA:<br>

Till...one night a starry-eyed lady <br>

they call lovable Sadie heard him playing that barbershop chord.<br>

<br>

QUARTET: When he finished Sadie drew a sigh.<br>

QUARTET: Everytime that she would catch his eye she'd cry...<br>

VERONICA: Mr. Jefferson Lord.<br>

QUARTET: Ooh-wah<br>

VERONICA: play the barbershop chord<br>

QUARTET: Ooh-wah<br>

VERONICA: that soothing harmony<br>

QUARTET: Ba da da da<br>

VERONICA: it makes an<br>

ALL 5: awful, awful, awful hit with me.<br>

VERONICA: Play that strain<br>

QUARTET: Ahhh<br>

VERONICA: just to please me again<br>

QUARTET: ahhh<br>

<br>

VERONICA:<br>

'Cause, Mister, when you start that minor part,<br>

I feel your fingers slippin' and a-grippin' my heart.<br>

<br>

QUARTET: Oh, Mr. Lord.<br>

ALL 5: Play the barbershop chord<br>

GUY from QUARTET: Mr. Jefferson Lord<br>

VERONICA: Thomas Jefferson Lord<br>

GUY from QUARTET: play that barbershop chord<br>

VERONICA: play the barbershop chord<br>

QUARTET: that soothing harmony<br>

VERONICA: sweet harmony<br>

ALL 5: makes a terrible, terrible, terrible<br>

QUARTET: terr-boo-hoo-hoo-hoo (this is said while Veronica is still singing terrible)<br>

VERONICA: hit with me.<br>

QUARTET: Play that strain<br>

VERONICA: Play that strain<br>

QUARTET: just to please me again<br>

<br>

VERONICA: <br>

just to please me again. <br>

'Cause, Mister, when you start that minor part, <br>

I feel your fingers slippin' and a-grippin' my heart.<br>
