Lyrics[]
Johnny Fedora met Alice Blue Bonnet
In the window of a department store
'Twas love at first sight
And they promised one night
They'd be sweethearts forevermore
Johnny would serenade Alice
Too-ra-lay, too-ra-lai, too-ra-loo
He sang of a beautiful palace
Of a beautiful hatbox or two
But Johnny Fedora lost Alice Blue Bonnet
To a patron of the department store
Her beauty was sought by
The girl she was bought by for $23.94
Johnny, oh Johnny
Your Alice Blue Bonnet
Will always be waiting for you
So don't give up hoping
And don't give up dreaming
For true love will come smiling through
Johnny Fedora was lonely and stranded
In the window of the department store
When low and behold
He was suddenly sold
And his heart became gay once more
Johnny sang out like a robin
Too-ra-lay, too-ra-lai, too-ra-loo
To strangers, he'd come up a bobbin' (Oh!)
I thought you were someone I knew
He looked for her uptown and crosstown and downtown
From the Brooklyn Bridge to the Jersey Shore
It all seemed in vain till he heard the refrain
Of the song Alice sang of yore
Johnny, oh Johnny
Your Alice Blue Bonnet
Will always be waiting for you
So don't give up hoping
And don't give up dreaming
For true love will come smiling through
Johnny kept yearning, he kept on returning
To the window of the department store
His voice became hushed
He was literally crushed
And it started to rain and pour
Each place he went, he kept calling
Too-ra-lay, too-ra-lai, too-ra-loo (La-la-la)
His spirits kept falling and falling
For his Alice was nowhere in view
But hey nonny nonny, an iceman found Johnny
And he cut him to fit on his horse's ears
'Twas done without malice
For beside him was Alice
And they lived on for years and years
You Johnny Fedoras
You Alice Blue Bonnets
Whenever you find yourself blue
You'll find it's June in December
If you'll just remember
That true love will come smiling through
That true love will come smiling through
