The Peddler's Serenade

Dean Martin · 100 Hits Legends [2006]

(Paul McGrane - Jim Eaton - Corvo)



There's a peddler comes to our house

With such wonderful bargains to sell

And he starts our hearts to tingling

Just as soon as he pushed the bell.



With his pots and pans so shiny

He's more fun than a penny arcade

Won't you listen to his sing song

Of the peddler's serenade.



(Shim a lish a wanna, shim a lish a wanna)

What's you gonna buy today

(Shim a lish a wanna, shim a lish a wanna)

She's a-like a give away.



If you want to buy say you're gonna buy

Angelina don't be afraid

(There's where our money goes for

The funny peddler's serenade.)



Angelina come-a down-a

It-sa the man he's back on the door

He's a gotta more to show you

Than the five and ten cents store.



If you're gonna catch-a new husband

He's-a gotta 'bout all the you need

Only don't-a go for the peddler

He's already one wife and a kid.



(Shim a lish a wanna, shim a lish a wanna)

What's you gonna buy today

(Shim a lish a wanna, shim a lish a wanna)

She's a-like a give away.



If you want to buy say you're gonna buy

Angelina don't be afraid

(There's where our money goes for

The funny peddler's serenade.)



Every body loves our peddler

He's always so merry and so gay

He's-a pans they clang and they clatter

Making wonderful music all day.



There's one for macaroni

And-a one for the garlic and the sauce

It's-a gotta long handle for showing

The husband who's boss.



(Shim a lish a wanna, shim a lish a wanna)

What's you gonna buy today

(Shim a lish a wanna, shim a lish a wanna)

She's a-like a give away.



If you want to buy say you're gonna buy

Angelina don't be afraid

(There's where our money goes for

The funny peddler's serenade.)



There's where our money goes for

The funny peddler's serenade...
