Bing Crosby Pessimistic Character
Man, they just don’t write songs like they used to. Playing Mafia II at the moment and the soundtrack is circa 40’s 50’s. Some of the songs are hilarious, some naughty and slightly subversive (singing about sex, but wrapping it in a pretty package). A lot of them are old favorites, but there are definitely a few I’d not heard before, including Bing Crosby’s “Pessimistic Character (With The Crab Apple Face)”, the lyrics of which you will find below…. enjoy because they just don’t write songs like this anymore lol.
Throw him out the window, he can’t stay
How did he get in here anyway?
What do we want with him? Around the place
The pessimistic character with the crab apple face
When he hears a joke he always cries
When there’s any fun, he darn near dies
What do you say we laugh at his sad case?
The pessimistic character with the crab apple face
He’s never welcome
Anywhere he goes
Let him stay where he belongs
In a book of Edgar Alan pose, why don’t we lose him?
Wrap him in a blanket carefully
Throw him out the window 1 2 3
It’ll be great to wear a grinning chase
The pessimistic character with the character with the crab apple face
Don’t you ever let him get you all alone
He’s the worst companion ever known
He doesn’t know how to keep a merry face
The pessimistic character with the crab apple face
When there’s any trouble how he boasts
He enjoys a graveyard and he loves ghosts
Smile he’ll disappear and leave no trace
That old fuddy duddy with the crab apple face
He’s got a hand shake
Just like a lemon peel
He’s the sole of discontent
With the disposition of a heel, oh what a icky
He’s no good at dancing, he can’t sing
He despises rainbows and he hates spring
Why do we want him in the human race?
The pessimistic character with the crab apple face
