that I've wanted to do for a very long time.
:44:05
And that is to... introduce to you
the woman who raised me.
:44:13
My mother, Nina Cassotto Maffia.
:44:18
Please, take a bow, Ma. Take a bow.
:44:30
- That's my son.
- All right!
:44:32
That's my son.
:44:42
I wanna do a song
that has been especially written for tonight.
:44:47
Its lyrics have been changed.
:44:50
It was an old Bob Hope number, actually.
:44:52
But we'd like to do it for you tonight
as our way of closing and saying good night...
:44:56
as soon as Richie's finished
with that thing he's composing over there.
:45:01
It goes something like this:
:45:04
# The Curtain Falls
:45:09
# Off comes the make-up
:45:14
# Off comes the clown's disguise
:45:19
# The curtain's falling
:45:24
# The music softly dies
:45:31
# But I hope you're smiling
:45:39
# As you're filing out the door
:45:47
# As they say in this biz
:45:54
# That's all there is, there isn't any more
