Soupy Sales died this week at age 83. He was a mainstay of part of my childhood. He was funny, a bit off color and did slapstick as well as anyone. Reprise - (X2)
There's a soupy called turkey soup
made from a gobbler who never flew the coop
and there's a soupy called chicken soup
but I'm a soupy called sales.
You can't eat me with a spoon
But I'm still soupy just the same
No I'm not crazy as a loon
It's just that Soupy is my name.
and
I love to get a pie in the face
Because it makes the people laugh.
It makes them smile, instead of frown
It picks them way up
When they are feeling way down.
I makes the world a happier place
When they smash me with the pie.
That's why I love to get a pie in the face
Cause I'm a love to get 'em
Laughing guy
...Would someone get me a towel?
For those of you who enjoyed Soupy - you know what I am talking about - for those of you who don't too bad.
Soupy Sales seemed to love his job, which is probably why it was (and still is) so much fun to watch his show
