The Lady From 29 Palms

The Andrews Sisters

- written by Allie Wrubel

- as recorded May 26, 1947 by The Andrews Sisters

with Vic Schoen & His Orchestra.



She left twenty-nine broken hearts

Broken in twenty-nine parts

Now there are twenty-nine fellas complainin' to their moms

About the lady from 29 Palms



She got twenty-nine Cadillacs

Twenty-nine sables from Sach's

They came from twenty-nine fellas who never had their arms

Around the lady from 29 Palms



She's a yip-yip-yippy-eyed dolly

A new kinda gal of the west

And yip-yip-yippy by-golly

Whatever she does, she does her best



She rides twenty-nine trails to bliss

Knows twenty-nine ways how to kiss

She is a gal that you dream of, you'd love to have your arms

Around the lady from 29 Palms



She left twenty-nine broken hearts, baby

Broken in twenty-nine parts were their broken hearts, mmm oy-da doy-da

Twenty-nine fellas complainin' to their moms

About the lady from 29 Palms



She got twenty-nine Cadillacs, baby

Twenty-nine sables from Sach's and them Cadillacs, mmm boy-da doy-da

Twenty-nine fellas who never had their arms

Around the lady from 29 Palms



------ instrumental break ------



She's a yippety-yippety-yippety-eye-oh, what a dolly

A bronco that no one can break

And yippety-yippety-yippety-eye-oh, by-golly

She's never giving, but how she takes



She's got twenty-nine diamond rings

Got, got, got 'em without any strings (Wow!)

A dynamite dream-boat, a load of atom bombs (Who?)
