Famous Jimmy Kennedy Quotes

“If you go down in the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go down in the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.
For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.”

Goodbye to tender nights beside the silv'ry sea.

“Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.
Why they changed it I can't say;

Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks!”

Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri.”

And now as I wonder, my thoughts ever stray
South of the border, down Mexico way.”
