:23:08
ls it you,
the guy l've been waiting for

:23:11
ever since Sax
invented the phone?

:23:15
Come on, are you the big cheese
with the fat contract

:23:18
who just loves
the way l tickle a tune?

:23:21
Sorry, no.
:23:23
Yeah, that's right, trouble.
:23:26
You're in trouble.
:23:29
l'm told you can help me.
:23:31
You get results.
:23:33
Oh, l get the cases
the polite guys pass.

:23:37
See, l get the jobs the guys
who don't sing don't get.

:23:40
So, what's the story?
:23:42
Who's the dame?
:23:44
How do you know there's a dame?
:23:47
There's always a dame.
:23:51
Tell me, am l right...
or am l right?

:23:58
There's always a dame.
:24:01
Am l right, or am l right?
:24:03
There's always a body, too.
:24:08
Talking to yourself again?
:24:16
l had on my best pajamas,
:24:19
the ones with red stripes
and the blue forget-me-nots.

:24:23
And l was powdered
under the armpits

:24:25
and talculmed
between each toe

:24:27
'cause a million bucks
was about to call

:24:32
and l was ready for it.
:24:36
l see.
:24:38
High temperature again.
:24:39
When she moved her lips
:24:41
l felt like a tulip
in dry season

:24:46
when the first raindrop
smacked into it.

:24:49
l decided to open up.
:24:55
Boy, was l green.
:24:58
Or do l mean wet?
