If I wrote a sitcom

I know what the theme tune would be. I heard it on a Goon Show CD a few years ago and it just feels right. You can just imagine it being the song for a romantic comedy series, probably about a long distance relationship. The version I heard was sung by regular Goon Show crooner Ray (not the Duke) Ellington. The song itself is by Louis Prima.

(The beeping is performed by the pianist)

My baby’s going on a trip to the moon
And she won’t be back too soon
She doesn’t write me and I can’t sleep
All I hear from her is beep beep beep

My baby’s up in a rocket machine
Since she left, she ain’t been seen
She doesn’t call me and I can’t sleep
All I hear from her is beep beep beep

I wonder if beep beep means ‘I miss you’
Or maybe beep boop means ‘I want to kiss you’
I’m hoping that beep beep means ‘I love you’
And she’s comin’ down to Earth again

My baby’s high in the stratosphere
I’m so low ‘cause I’m down here
My love for her is gonna keep
Till she comes back and whispers beep beep beep

I wonder if beep beep means ‘I miss you’
Or maybe beep boop means ‘I want to kiss you’
I’m hoping that beep beep means ‘I love you’
And she’s comin’ down to Earth again

My baby’s foolin’ ‘round with a satellite
Now you know that, that ain’t right
My love for her is gonna keep
Till she comes back and whispers beep beep beep
