A reminder from the late Allan Sherman

23 May 2009 · 10:39 am · Almost Yogurt

Because this is the day for it:

When you go to the delicatessen store
Don’t buy the liverwurst
Don’t buy the liverwurst
Don’t buy the liverwurst
I repeat what I’ve just said before
Don’t buy the liverwurst
Don’t buy the liverwurst

Oh, buy the corned beef if you must
The pickled herring you can trust
And the lox puts you in orbit A-OK
But that big hunk of liverwurst
Has been there since October first
And today is the 23rd of May

So when you go to the delicatessen store
Don’t buy the liverwurst
Don’t buy the liverwurst
Don’t buy the liverwurst
It’ll make your insides awful sore
Don’t buy the liverwurst
Don’t buy the liverwurst

First commemorated here; this time, though, you get to hear it.

    I wasn’t expecting that tune! It floored me.

    Thank you for that.
