907. Yolko, Oh no!

There once was a very sick fella
Whose eyes were a light shade of yella.
He had wobbly legs
Caused by eating raw eggs
Which were laced with that bug, salmonella.

  1. Burton Lane and Yip Harburg diagnosed this guy's problem best when they wrote, "It's that old deviled egg in your eyes." I heard it on the original Broadway cast albumin.

  2. It seems that Harburg was always chasing rainbows. His two most-performed songs are "Over the Rainbow" and "That Old Devil Moon" from the play and movie, "Finian's Rainbow."
