Does anybody remember a song from around 66-68 that went: Your red scarf
matches your eyes, You closed the cover before striking, Papa's got the
Shiflitter blues, Loving you has made me bananas....... It had like a
20's or 30's feel to it.A male sang it.

I think "Loving You Has Made Me Bananas" is the actual title. I know it's
been played on Dr. Demento, because I remember the melody.

The song is available in sheet music form, in a book entitled "World's
Funniest Songs" or something similar to that. If you need an accurate
title, e-mail me and I'll look it up. The sheet music also has the
announcer's patter which precedes the song.

The missing line is "Oh you burned your finger that evening, while my back was
turned"

Does anyone remember his follow-up "Meet Me Tonight by hte Postage Machine"?
It had a chorus that went

"It may sound silly saying this but heaven knows,
We could all in love beside the Pitney Bowes"

LOVIN' YOU HAS MADE ME BANANAS by Guy Marks, 1968, ABC/Dunhill records.

Full lyrics (all by that noted, respect songsmith, Guy Marks, who with his orchestra sang it, not to be confused with that other 20s-30s Guy, by the name of Lombardo)

Oh your Red Scarf matches your eyes
You closed the cover before striking
your father had the shipfitter blues
lovin' you has made me bananas

Oh your Red Scarf matches your eyes
You closed the cover before striking
your father had the shipfitter* blues
lovin' you has made me bananas

Oh you burned your finger that evening
While my back was turned.
I asked the waiter for idodine
But I dined all alone

Oh your Red Scarf matches your eyes
You closed the cover before striking
your father had the shipfitter blues
lovin' you has made me bananas

*I looked shipfitter up, and it has something to do with ships but forgot what it was.
