The Everly Brothers - Mention My Name In Sheboygan


Mention my name in Sheboygan
It's the greatest little town in the world
Just tell them you're an old friend of mine
And every door in town will have a big welcome sign
So mention my name in Sheboygan
And if you ever get in a jam
Just mention name, I said mention my name
But please don't them where I am

Mention my name in Paducha
It's the greatest little town in the world
I know a gal there you'll simply adore
She was Miss Patoka back in 1904
So mention my name in Paducha
And if you ever get in a mess
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't give them my address

Mention my name in Tacoma
It's the greatest little town in the world
I know the big shots in the City Hall
They even got my picture on the post office wall
So mention my name in Tacoma
And if you ever get in a spat
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't tell them where I'm at
Please don't tell them where I'm at!

No Spark.

There are two songs.

1. Don't Mention My Name In Sheboygan

2. Mention My Name In Sheboygan (sung by the Everly's)

I'm talkin' about Don't Mention My Name In Sheboygan. It's an old (20's or so) vaudeville hit that was the number 1 song in the country. This is before record's were widely sold. we used to hit an old derlict bar in sheboygan after fishing on L Michigan. We'd buy the locals beer and get 'em to sing and dance to that song. they all knew the words by heart. I can still see that one old guy dancing and singing a toothless shuffle to that tune.

Joint had killer brats, delicious fried fish, ridiculously cheap beer, and of course, great ambiance.

I just closed my eyes and tried to imagine what a toothless shuffle is...and by gosh, I think I figured it out! Dick Clark will be crowing about it on American Bandstand next week! (too soon? nah)

There is one verse missing above or the third verse. That verse is about Elmira. The song lyrics are then:

MENTION MY NAME IN SHEBOYGAN

(Bob Hilliard, Dick Sanford, and Sammy Mysels)

Mention my name in Sheboygan,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
Just tell them all you're an old friend of mine,
And every door in town will have a big welcome sign.
So mention my name in Sheboygan,
And if you ever get in a jam,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't tell 'em where I am.

Mention my name in Paducah,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
I know a gal there you'll simply adore,
She was "Miss Paducah" back in nineteen-o-four.
So mention my name in Paducah,
And if you ever get in a mess,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't give them my address.

Mention my name in Elmira,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
I told the Mayor that he would go far,
I even gave the sheriff an exploding cigar.
So mention my name in Elmira,
And if they ever try to put you in jail,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't write to me for bail.

Mention my name in Tacoma,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
I know the big shots in their City Hall,
They're even got my picture on the post office wall.
So mention my name in Tacoma,
And if you ever get in a spat,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't tell 'em where I'm at.
