Anytime the house is burning, and the flames leap all about, Say, tell me do, who goes, "kerchoo!" and puts the fire out? Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes. Barney Google, thought his horse could win the prize. He got odds of ten to eight; Spark Plug came in three days late. Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes. Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes. Barney Google tried to enter paradise. When Saint Peter saw his face, he said, "Go to the other place." Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes “Barney Google” Billy Jones & Ernest Hare (Happiness Boys) Edison Blue Amberol 4757 (1923)
