What does it really say?

[jennc2001]

So....the song on splash mountain says something and we can't figure out what it says, but my husband (who makes up his own words to all songs anyway) always say's "pretty good, show us your balls" LOL...it's so funny cause he says it every time that part of the song comes on and we don't know what it says otherwise! HELP! LOL

 

[ABigBrassBand]

Pretty good sure as you're born.

 

[k.hunter30]

I always thought it was "Pretty good, sure as you're born." :lookaroun

 

[jennc2001]

I guess next time we go, I'll have to listen to the rest of the song, and the whole song, cause that just doesn't make sense LOL

Splash Mountain Lyrics

How Do You Do?

Words and Music by Dan Robert Allshouse
©1984 Walt Disney Music Company

How do you do?
Mighty pleasant greetin'
How do you do?
Say it when you're meetin'
How do you do?
With every one repeatin'
Pretty good sure as you're born.

What goes up is sure to come down.
A penny lost is a penny found.
How do you do?
And here's a hearty back
A little bit of this and a little bit of that.

How do you do?
Fine. How are you?
How you come on?
Pretty good sure as you're born.

Stop jumpin' around,
You'll run out of breath!
Why don't you sit back
And calm yourself?

You can hurry on now if you must.
We'll do what we like, 'cause...
That suits us.

SOLO (by Thurl Ravenscroft):
How do you do?
Mighty pleasant greetin'.
Pretty good sure as you're born.
Pretty good sure as you're born.
How do you do?
Mighty pleasant greetin'
How do you do?
Say it when you're meetin'
How do you do?
With every one repeatin'
Pretty good sure as you're born.
Pretty good sure as you're born.

The weather is good,
The fishin' is fine.
What do we do
With all of our time?

Well we sit and we think
and we wiggle our toes.
That's what you ask us.
That's what we know!

Pretty good sure as you're born.
Pretty good sure as you're born.

How do you do?
Fine. How are you?
How you come on?
Pretty good sure as you're born.
Pretty good sure as you're born.
Pretty good sure as you're born.

Time to be turning around.
Time to be turning around.
Here's lookin' for
A little more adventure.
But he's headed for
A little bit of trouble.
He's headed for
A little bit of danger.

Time to be turning around.
Time to be turning around.
Time to be turning around.

For future reference, the song is called "How Do You Do?" and the full lyrics can be found here (to shed some light on the subject)

Thanks for the lyrics....still doesn't make much sense to me!
not really sure why i asked what it really says because i'm sure i'll never ride it again and not think of what my husband actually says! LOL

Well, just as you've definitely been born, the singer is definitely "pretty good." :shrug:

On a side note, I guess I'm familiar with the phrase because it is also in my favorite Irish song: "The Unicorn Song" by the Irish Rovers.

"pretty good, show us your balls"

First packs, now this....

A XXX WDW day!

 

[Master Gracey 5]

Don't feel bad, it took until I was 23 and 8 trips to WDW before I figured out what they were actually saying.

 

[jennc2001]

First packs, now this....

A XXX WDW day!

packs are XXX huh? LOL! well, i guess i could see that :ROFLOL:

 

[lilclerk]

packs are XXX huh? LOL! well, i guess i could see that :ROFLOL:

To the Brits it is! :lookaroun :lol:

 

[LiveyMouse22]

Don't worry, my entire family sings "Pretty good, show us your balls" too. It's funny and it really DOES sound like they're singing that. :lol: I guess "Pretty good sure as your born" is how it really goes but I think we'll stick to the status quo, it's more amusing that way!

 

[Texas84]

Darn, I thought my Mom came up with that first! :ROFLOL:

 

[gwhb75]

The first few times I heard it I tought it was either pretty good show us your bum, or pretty good show us your bone.

 

[jennc2001]

haha....glad we're not the only crazy family out there

 

[the-reason14]

I remember reading a thread about this looooonnnngggggg ago. And someone thought they were saying, "Pretty good, show us your bone." :lookaroun

It wasn't until after reading that thread and watching a copy of song of the south that I figured out what they were really saying. "Pretty good, sure as your born."

 

[Kamikaze]

My entire family (I travel with a lot of them) sing it the same as your boyfriend 'show us your balls'.

I think the closest is actually 'show us your bong'

 

[_Scar]

Your misinterpretation took me to my laughin' place.

This is how my husband sings it.
