A and C Meet Me
I once had a dreamAbout some very old friends
William Abbott and Louis Cristello
Together they gave great joy
When Bill and Louie became
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello
Bud was forever getting Lou into trouble
In the Army, the Navy, the Foreign Legion
Fighting boxers, sergeants and ghosts
They travelled everywhere, including Alaska
The South Seas, Africa, Mexico and farther
Where they met some, uhm, interesting folks
Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy
The Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Even the Hatfields and McCoys
They've drunken many concoctions too
Love potions, mouse potions and more
They hung out in outer space with gangsters
Been chased by the Keystone Kops
Even climbed the beanstalk to meet the giant
Lots of hijinks and fun, some shared sorrows
They went home some time ago
Lou in 1959 and Bud in 1974
So I guess I'll only get to meet them in my dreams
