Gleason felt there was a ready market for romantic instrumentals. He recalled seeing Clark Gable play love scenes in movies, and the romance was, in his words, "magnified a thousand percent" by background music. Gleason reasoned, "If Gable needs music, a guy in Brooklyn must be desperate!"

Gleason could not read or write music in a conventional sense; he was said to have conceived melodies in his head and described them vocally to staff help. He did likewise with the well-remembered themes of both The Jackie Gleason Show ("Melancholy Serenade") and The Honeymooners ("You're My Greatest Love"). There has been some controversy over the years as to how much credit Gleason should have received for the finished products; it has been written that beyond the possible conceptualizing of many of the songs, Gleason had no direct involvement such as conducting in the making of these recordings. However, his main musical companion, cornetist and trumpeter Bobby Hackett once said: "Jackie knows a lot more about music than people give him credit for. I have seen him conduct a sixty-piece orchestra and detect one discordant note in the brass section. He would immediately stop the music and locate the wrong note. It always amazed the professional musicians how a guy who technically did not know one note from another could do that. And he was never wrong."

Born February 26, 1916 in Brooklyn, New York, United States. He died on June 24, 1987

Real Live Girl
Jackie Gleason Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pardon me miss
But I've never done this
With a real live girl
What could be harmful
In holding an armful

Of a real live girl
Pardon me if you're affectionate squeeze

Fogs up my goggles and
Buckles my knees
I'm simply drown in the sight, and the sounds,
And the scent and the feel

Of a real live girl
Nothing can beat getting swept off your feet
By a real live girl
Dreams of you but don't compare with a hunk
Of a real live girl
Girl's were to girlish

Was once my belief
Whata reversal and what a relief
I'll take the flowering hat
And the towering hill

And the squeal of a real live girl
I've seen photographs and faximilies
That have set my heart off in a whirl
But I over look everyone in the book
For a real live girl
Take your vernecion or romanaprrection
Ideal live girl

Go be a hold out for Helen of Troy
I am a healthy American Boy
And I rather gape at the dear little shape of the stir

And the kill of a real live girl
Full time, occasional all operational girl

Overall Meaning

In "Real Live Girl," Jackie Gleason provides a lighthearted hymn to the beauty of women. He's never held a real live girl before, and he's delighting in every moment of it. The lyrics describe the physical sensations of being near a woman- the way her touch can make him feel giddy, the way her scent fills his head, and the way the sound of her voice makes his heart skip a beat. He's clearly overjoyed to be in the company of a real, breathing, and feeling woman.

The lyrics use the device of exaggeration to emphasize the beauty of the real live girl. Gleason notes that no dream, photograph, or even faximilies (presumably of beautiful actresses or models) can compare with the presence of an actual woman. He also notes that his prior belief was that girls were "too girlish," but he's come around to appreciate them fully. He sings without any hint of cynicism, but rather with pure joy and exhilaration.

The song's lyrics evoke a simpler time when men might be content simply holding a woman's arm. It's also a reflection of a time when the concept of men and women separating their lives was at its height, and men typically referred to women as girls. Ultimately, the song is a celebration of the beauty of women and the joys of being in the company of a real live girl.

Line by Line Meaning

Pardon me miss
Excuse me, miss

But I've never done this
I've never experienced this before

With a real live girl
With an actual, physical girl

What could be harmful
What could be dangerous

In holding an armful
In embracing someone

Of a real live girl
Of an actual, physical girl

Pardon me if you're affectionate squeeze
Forgive me if your hug

Fogs up my goggles and
Clouds my vision and

Buckles my knees
Weakens my legs

I'm simply drown in the sight, and the sounds,
I'm overwhelmed by the sight and sounds

And the scent and the feel
And the smell and the touch

Of a real live girl
Of an actual, physical girl

Nothing can beat getting swept off your feet
Nothing is better than falling deeply in love

By a real live girl
By an actual, physical girl

Dreams of you but don't compare with a hunk
Thoughts of you do not match up to the experience of having

Of a real live girl
A real, physical girl

Girl's were to girlish
Girls were too immature

Was once my belief
I used to think that

Whata reversal and what a relief
What a change and how comforting

I'll take the flowering hat
I'll choose a fancy hat

And the towering hill
And the tall mountain

And the squeal of a real live girl
And the laughter of an actual, physical girl

I've seen photographs and faximilies
I've looked at pictures and copies

That have set my heart off in a whirl
That have made my heart race

But I over look everyone in the book
But I ignore all of those in the book

For a real live girl
For an actual, physical girl

Take your vernecion or romanaprrection
Take your sophisticated preferences

Ideal live girl
Of an ideal girl

Go be a hold out for Helen of Troy
Go wait for someone as beautiful as Helen of Troy

I am a healthy American Boy
I am an energetic American guy

And I rather gape at the dear little shape of the stir
And I prefer to stare at the lovely form of a cute girl

And the kill of a real live girl
And the charm of an actual, physical girl

Full time, occasional all operational girl
A girl who is always available and ready for anything

He was and still is larger than life. I was born in 1976 but I wish I could have been part of this time. It seems to be a very magical moment. Unlike today's world of horror.

And from what I read of those who were there, monologues like that were not written down. Gleason just generally knew what he wanted to convey and made it up. It's more impressive knowing that his creating the words on the spot are very good and don't wander all over.

Didn't expect a touching monologue like that in a 2 minute clip from the Honeymooners. RIP Jackie and his talented cast. Proof that television shows don't have to be vulgar to be entertaining.

The greatest sitcom ever bar none. The episodes never get old.

Bel Pack

I've always thought The Dick Van Dyke Show was the greatest sitcom ever. With The Honeymooners and I Love Lucy vying for second. What hurts The Honeymooners is that it only had one season, although it was a sketch for a long time.

Even out of character, he's great.

retroguy94

That's why its called ACTING. You guys need to read up on how he treated his wife and children on Christmas day. Not to take away from his amazing talent as a performer, but he would usually see his wife and kids for a half hour or an hour on Christmas, then go and hang out with his drinking buddies. Normally at Toots Shor's. Then he would wind up the evening with one of his girlfriends. If you catch my drift!

His description of the period just before Christmas was quite accurate at least for certain places. My family didn't observe the holiday but as a kid I loved the decorations and all the general hubbub that went with the season. There were certain things that were present every year. A giant Santa Claus, a giant decorated tree, lights everywhere (which have made a bit of a comeback recently). There used to be displays of Santa's elves in certain department store windows, sawing and hammering etc. And of course the music in every store. Plus, best of all the toy aisles would be crammed to the ceiling. Great times.

Something so magical about early television. The talent level was so high to be able to do live shows every week. Sad where we are now.

Tony Presti

3y↑1

The world we live in today absolutely cannot...cannot compare to those times!. Listen to that little speech, it's incredibly poignant, simple and a true testament to everything, which it is not in 2021. There are numerous variables, that could be included; a world war, (which we won). A work ethic, and an appreciation of doing the best you can, even if it's not much; being poor didn't mean you weren't happy. I'm 70 years old now, and remember watching the Honeymooners. I can still hear my dad laughing at Ralph's antics. There's more to the clip with regard to the total degeneration of who we are now; no comparison...none.

Kris HEALTHCARE: AI

@lovesmusic36 Yes, I'm very familiar with his Twilight Zone tv series he started. I know he wrote other things as well, but I admired his talent as well. Gleason, Sterling are all people from my fathers generation that he grew up with decades ago. He introduced them to me growing up way after the died off. I wish I could have lived for a few days in that time.

lovesmusic36

@Kris HEALTHCARE: AI Absolutely. If you want a marvelous example of early television at its best, I urge you to watch anything written by the incredibly talented Rod Serling. I had the pleasure of meeting his daughter, Anne, a few years ago at a film festival.

Kris HEALTHCARE: AI

@lovesmusic36 That's true. I agree 100%. You had some amazing talent and writing that went around back then. Now...they're a dying breed it seems. Jakcie Gleason and all the great ones at the time, are unfortunately nothing more now but a tale to be told.

@Kris HEALTHCARE: AI I was very young during this era of television. The issue is that now we don't have the caliber of writers and actors who at that time took their work seriously and understood the beauty and importance of their craft. Watch the credits of early programs compared to today. One director, a couple of writers, one producer whereas now there are several directors, assistants, etc. This posting is a touching look at television in its infancy.

The shows were wonderful: and to think that they were performed live! I read years later when Ralph would have words with Alice, and he said "I'll tell ya Alice... I'm going to tell ya..and you KNOWWWWW I'm going to tell you" meant that he forgot what to say and was thinking what to say! Also, when Alice would put her hand on either her left hip or right hip meant that someone was supposed to come on to the stage from that direction! ☺️

My coworker was a ringer for a young Jackie Gleason. He disliked being reminded of the uncanny resemblance for reasons known only to him. Working with this fellow, plus our entire assembled crew of forty or so, for about five years at end of the 1980s and early-'90s were some of the best years of my working life. Now there was another coworker who could emulate Jackie Gleason's mannerisms to the point where I'd forget that he looked nothing like "The Great One". And awaaaay we go!

Eek don't say that in front of any millenials. They will demand that every last copy, film reel, tape, file, etc. be destroyed and ask that legislation be passed to punish anyone who watches it since the 1950's sitcom includes situations which are racist, misogynistic, or intolerant when judged by 2019 standards because that is what art is for, to be reevaluated in the coming centuries and erased when not 100% acceptable by everchanging standards (btw what DO we do when something is erased by us but 2119 wants it back? Tough shit to them, I guess).

Just like our Civil War era statues...or I should say the Civil War statues erected by the people of that time with the absolute right to commemorate whatever the hell was important enough to them to commemorate at the time and with a reasonable expectation that it remain a permanent fixture even if opinions changed over time since it would be insane to judge their decision to erect something in the mid 19th century by 21st century standards and some word beyond insanity that doesn't even exist it's so ridiculous to go a step farther and take a giant eraser or bottle of white out to wipe their marks on the world from existence like all the little middle class college spoiled brat worthless simpleton, at best, Millennials are doing all over the US right now.

Are they really too retarded to get that there are statues the world over of people with radically different beliefs, violent pasts, tendencies to objectify or exclude women and more? Better make an international law making statuary monuments illegal.
