One Smart Fellow Lyrics

I remember long ago my dad would sit me on his knee

And offer me a challenge for which I would agree

Say it five times fast and a nickel you will get

But if you mess it up then you lose that nickel bet

Five Times Fast

Five Times Fast

Five Times Fast

Then he'd purse his lips and with that Irish smile

He'd ask me if I'm ready and he'd turn it up a dial

And the next thing that I heard it would spin my head around

Till I would interject and say You got to slow it down

Five Times Fast

Five Times Fast

Five Times Fast

And he'd say

One smart fellow he felt smart

Two smart fellows they felt smart

Three smart fellows they all felt smart

Now say it Five Times Fast

Say it Five Times Fast

Five Times Fast

Well I was just a little tyke but I gave it a good try

My esses blended with my F's and laughter filled the sky

And the more that I messed up the wider he would grin

And I never won that nickel bet from him

Five Times Fast

Say it Five Times Fast

Say it Five Times Fast

One smart fellow he felt smart

Two smart fellows they felt smart

Three smart fellows they all felt smart

One smart fellow he felt smart

Two smart fellows they felt smart

Three smart fellows they all felt smart

I'll take that nickel now
