Here is a bit of the lyrics: "They passed Columbus Circle doing 82/A couple minutes later they were under Bronx Zoo/J. C. shuddered, and he said, 'I guess/This used to be a Local, but it's now an Express.'" This is one of the funniest (and most fun) songs on the album.
"America's A Nice Italian Name"
"J.C. Cohen"
"J.C. Cohen" is a parody of "Casey Jones." It tells of a subway conductor on the IRT. Allan compares him to another famous conductor, singing "And if you gotta travel uptown/He's a greater conductor than Leonard Bernstein." This song is about a subway that goes out of control, leaving New York City and going through Albany and Massachusetts and on to the North Pole.
"Beautiful Teamsters" is a parody of "Beautiful Dreamers," and is about a man who wishes to join the Teamsters. Some of the humor comes from Allan Sherman mispronouncing words as a teamster might. The song ends with, "Tossing big boxes into the air/'Specially the ones that say, 'Handle With Care'/Beautiful Teamsters, won't you take me/Or I'll to back to practicing brain soigery."
Allan sings, "When The Beatles come on the stage/They scream and shriek and cheer them/Now I know why they're such a rage/It's impossible to hear them." Of course, that was something that the Beatles themselves were annoyed about. Allan also hits on the commercialism surrounding the band: "There's Beatle books and T-shirts and rings/And one thing and another/To buy my daughter all of these things/I had to sell her brother."
This song is sung to the tune of "The Glow-Worm." It's one of Allan Sherman's funniest songs, with lines like, "Love of my life, I'm glad I found you/Each day I take a walk around you/I can't forget when we got married/Over the threshhold I got carried."
For Swingin' Livers Only! is Allan Sherman's fifth album for Warner Bros. The title is a reference to Frank Sinatra's 1956 album Songs For Swingin' Lovers! In fact, on the cover it says "For Swingin' Lovers Only!" and the word "Lovers" is crossed out and replaced with "Livers."
"Beautiful Teamsters"
"Pop Hates The Beatles"
"Grow, Mrs. Goldfarb"
Allan Sherman opens this album with "Grow, Mrs. Goldfarb," a song that pokes fun at one of his own problems - being fat. The song starts [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Grow, Mrs. Goldfarb, fatter, fatter/Pile the potatoes on your platter/Listen to me, 'cause I'm your hubby/I just adore you plump and chubby/I got a letter from the state [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dear/You're gonna need a license plate, dear."
Allan Sherman's biggest year was 1963. That year he released two number one albums [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and his first album from the previous year was still on the charts. The year 1964 (the year of this album) belonged to The Beatles. But Allan Sherman gets in a few punches with "Pop Hates The Beatles," which is sung to "Pop Goes The Weasel."
This album, like his others, was recorded in front of a group of friends (who once again had access to an open bar). This album reached #32 on the Billboard charts.
"America's A Nice Italian Name" is a very funny song sung to the tune of "Funiculi, Funicula." It starts, "I live in Italy, the sky is sunny/'T'sa nice-a place. 't'sa nice-a place/And if you think the way I talk is
