bottled moo

 



♪♪ ♫

Milkman, keep those bottles quiet

Can't use that jive on my milk diet

So milkman keep those bottles quiet


Been jumpin' on the swing shift, all night

Turnin' out my quota, all right

Now I'm beat right down to the sod

Gotta catch myself some righteous nod



Milkman, stop that Grade-A riot

Cut out if you can't lullaby it

Oh, milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet


Been knocking out a fast tank, all day

Working on a bomber, okay

Boy, you blast my wig with those clinks

And I got to catch my forty winks

So milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet



Now noise of the riveter rocks, don't mind it

'Cause the man with the whiskers has a lot behind it

But I can't keep punchin' with the victory crew,

When you're making me punchy with that bottled moo


I want to give my all if I'm gonna give it

But I gotta get my shuteye if I'm gonna rivet

So bail out, bud, with the milk barrage

'Cause it's unpatriotic, it's sabotage



Been knocking out a fast tank, all day

Working on a bomber, okay

Boy, you blast my wig with those clinks

And I got to catch my forty winks

So milkman - keep those bottles quiet


Oooo, milkman, keep those bottles quiet

Oooo, milkman, keep those bottles quiet

Quiet!
