Take a pinch of this and a shake of that And a splash of somethin' good 'Cause the cook just knows by the twitch in her nose The way a good cook should Take an ounce of this and a pound of that And a ton of something else And you stir it 'round and you let it brown Till the whole concoction melts Give it a whoop with a loop-the-loop a ladle and a scoop It's a good-time goombah soup A good time can be had by all With a good-time goombah soup It'll rock your socks till you caterwaul That good-time goombah soup It's a soup that laughs and barks and jeers It's the old-time goombah soup It'll pin your ears till you give three cheers It's a good-time goombah soup Everybody wants some more It's an old-time goombah soup With a hey and a ho and I love it so The good-time goombah soup Put a little shake here And a little shake there And then there's soup to spare
