Whenever Bing Begins To Sing

Lyric: Al Dubin
Music: Harry Warren
Year: 1934
Original publisher: Remick Music Corp.

Verse:

Herman Bing was a "dahncer"
Till a radio sponsor
Told him, "We need crooners on the air."
Bing had vocal ambitions,
After many auditions,
Bing is now a byword ev'rywhere.
Ev'ry night at eight o'clock
By Eastern Standard Time,
What he does to all the gals
Who listen is a crime;

Chorus:

Whenever Bing begins to sing
A simple thing that's got a swing,
He makes a hundred million girls go, "Ga-ga."
To hear him croon a dreamy tune
About a moon one night in June
Can make a hundred million girls go, "Ga-ga."
Oh, the oh-oh girl goes, "Oh-oh!"
And the ah-ah girl goes, "Ah!"
But the ga-ga girl, the little simp,
Goes, "Ga-ga-ga-ga!" until she's limp.
Whenever Bing begins to sing
A simple thing that's got a swing,
He makes a hundred million girls go, "Ga-ga."
