Re: yogi lyrics?From: webmaster@johnnymercer.com CommentsFOR EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH USE The Yogi(Who Lost His Willpower) is from the Paramount film: YOU'RE THE ONE, 1941. Lyric by Johnny Mercer and Music by Jimmy McHugh A Yogi is a man who thinks and thinks, and never has time for forty winks, He seldom eats and rarly drinks, and he's usually from Rangoon. A Yogi is a man who takes a pin and casually sticks it through his skin, You'll always find his picture in a "Believe it or not" cartoon. With him it's mind over matter. But I know one who lost his mind and became as mad as a hatter. There was a Yogi who lost his willpower, He met a dancing girl AND FELL IN LOVE. HE COULDN'T CONCENTRATE, OR LIE ON BROKEN GLASS, HE COULD ONLY SIT AND WAIT FOR HER TO PASS(UPON HIS CLASSIFIED SECTION OF THE TIMES{this is optional}- Unhappy Yogi, he tried forgetting- but she was all that he- was conscious of.-At night he stretched out-up on his bed of nails- he could only dream about-her seven vails, his face-grew flushed and florid- ev'ry time, he heard her name. And the ruby gleaming in her fore head- set his oriental sould a flame. This poor old Yogi, he soon discovered-she was the Mahara- jah's turtle dove. and she was Satisfied, she had an emerald ring, an elephant to ide-and ev'ry thing. He was q passing whim,- That's how the stopry goes,-and what became of him- nobody knows.
