Anyone know the lyrics to the Snuffy Smith cartoons?

Update:

The lyrics were from the animated Snuffy Smith cartoons that were made 1963-1965. Famous Studios produced them. They also made the Casper,Little Lulu,Herman and Katnip,Popeye cartoons.

    I didn't know there were lyrics. I only remember reading the cartoon in the paper.

    Snuffy Smith Cartoon

  • 1 decade ago

    Do you perhaps mean "Barney Google With His Googoogoogly Eyes" - as Barney Google frequently appeared with Snuffy Smith in the original cartoon strip.

    Written about the popular 1920's newspaper cartoon "Barney Google" the tune became part of a slapstick comedy routine for the team of Olsen & Johnson.

    Verse one:

    “Barney Google with the goo, goo, googley eyes,

    Barney Google had a wife three times his size,

    She sued Barney for divorce now he’s living with his horse,

    Barney Google with the goo, goo, googley eyes.”

    Verse Two:

    “Barney Google with the goo, goo, googley eyes,

    Bet his horse would win the prize,

    When the horses ran that day Spark Plug ran the other way.

    Barney Google with the goo, goo, googley eyes.”
