Lyrics for Song: Harvey And Sheila
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Allan Sherman
Harvey and Sheila
Harvey and Sheila
Harvey and Sheila
Oh the day they met.
Harvey and Sheila
Harvey and Sheila
Harvey and Sheila
No one will forget.
Harvey's a CPA
He works for IBM
He went to MIT
And got his PHD.
Sheila's a girl I know
At BBDNO
She works the PBX
And makes out the checks.
Then, came, one great day when,
Harvey took the elevator,
Sheila got in two floors later,
Soon they both felt they were falling,
Everyone heard Sheila calling,
"RING THE BELL"
But they fell,
Harv and Sheila fell in love.
Harvey and Sheila
Harvey and Sheila
Harvey and Sheila
Chose a wedding ring.
Harvey and Sheila
Harvey and Sheila
Harvey and Sheila
Married in the spring.
She shopped at A&P
He bought a used MG
They sat and watched TV
On their RCA.
Borrowed from HFC
Bought some AT&T
And on election day
Worked for JFK.
Then they went and got a
Charge-a-plate from R.H. Macy's
Bought a layette
Pink and lacey
Then they had twin baby girls
Both with dimples
Both with curls
One named Bea
One named Kay
Soon they joined the PTA.
Harvey and Sheila
Harvey and Sheila
Harvey and Sheila
Moved to west LA
Harvey and Sheila
Harvey and Sheila
Harvey and Sheila
Flew TWA
They bought a house one day
Financed by HFA
It had a swimming pool
Full of H2O
Traded their used MG
For a new XKE
Switched to the GOP
That's they way thing go.
Oh that Harvey he was really smart
He used his noodle
Sheila got a white French Poodle
Went to Europe with a VISA
Harvey's rich they say that he's a
VIP
This could be
Only in the USA.

Harvey And Sheila
Allan Sherman's "Harvey And Sheila" stands as a quintessential example of his signature style, blending theatrical storytelling with catchy pop melodies. The song features Sherman's characteristic vocal delivery, characterized by a distinctive falsetto and a rhythmic, bouncing cadence that became a hallmark of his work. It exemplifies the genre of English-language pop music popular in the mid-20th century, often associated with his other well-known compositions. The track reflects the era's fascination with domestic life and character-driven narratives, delivered with a playful, upbeat energy that defined Sherman's contribution to the musical landscape. As a standalone recording, it showcases his ability to craft memorable tunes that rely on lyrical wit and musical ingenuity rather than complex arrangements. |
