The Lyrics
Did Carole Lombard have plenty of sex appeal? That photo of her in a swimsuit, from the June 1932 issue of Modern Screen, supplies an obvious answer; as well as this lovely 1927 picture taken at Mack Sennett Studios.
Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That Carole is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That Carole is bound to get you,
See her, see her, see her, see her, see her...mmm...
(female vocal)
Carole’s legs,
Start in to gaze, then soon, you’ll be gazing,
Carole’s legs,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
Twenty-three,
Years; a gazed sensation, (dee-de-oh!)
You’ll agree,
She’s the girl that’s putting the world on its feet,
Carole’s legs,
Miss Sally Eilers, she was no match for,
Carole’s legs,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not George Briant,
Oh, you’ll catch on & try it,
Well, it’s a male’s gift, you see,
Look at Carole’s legs!
(vocal trio)
Carole’s legs,
Start in to gaze, then soon, you’ll be gazing,
Carole’s legs,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
Twenty-three,
Years; a gazed sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
She’s the girl that’s putting the world on its feet,
Carole’s legs,
Miss Sally Eilers, she was no match for,
Carole’s legs,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not George Briant,
You’ll catch on & try it,
It’s a male’s gift, you see,
Look at Carole’s legs, whoa!
Carole’s legs,
(instrumental call-back)
Carole’s legs,
(instrumental call-back)
Twenty-three,
Years; a gazed sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
She’s the girl that’s putting the world on its feet,
Carole’s legs,
(instrumental call-back)
Carole’s legs,
(instrumental call-back)
If you’re not George Briant,
You’ll catch on & try it,
It’s a male’s gift, you see,
Look at Carole’s legs, whoa!
Simple as the day is long!
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That Carole is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That Carole is bound to get you,
See her, see her, see her, see her, see her...mmm...

Wow Fred, you not only can't write anything original, let alone clever, but now you're doing it under other members' names? I didn’t know who today’s fixations were, so I Googled them. I, along with everyone else here have never heard of “lovely” Carole Lombard or Sally “freakin’” Eilers before. Moreover, I will never read another word from your relentless onslaught of geezer parodies. Can’t wait to read your next entry contemplating the greatness of the color beige, dull-on-the-dole.
Wow, GeorgeAndGermaineBriantFan, when I called you ‘TardZilla yesterday, I was being kind. Your last two sentences contradict each other, and the last segment was stolen directly from yesterday’s comments. I’ll bet you tried to copy answers off of others all through school, except when they wrote “I don’t know” you wrote “I don’t either”.
Homeschooled? I can see why. I'll bet 2nd grade was the longest three years of your life. That might be an impediment when I ask you to show me how I'm "incompetent". Also, I didn't mention Sally Eilers or any other geezer ghost fantasies you might have. You wrote that in my name. Not like they'd have anything to do with you anyway, even in the afterlife. Lastly, the bleach thing is you writing under my name again. It goes back to your world's whiniest post in late August. Nobody made you do anything with chemicals. That's all on you. And if you don't like my comments, use your own name to submit your garbage.
Shows what you know. In the meantime, go back to your conservative podcasts, Michelob Ultras and country music, while I listen to Herbie Kay and NPR, drinking society gin while contemplating the greatness of the color beige. Dull-on-the-dole, as the saying goes.
