(feat. James Cann)
[Announcer] "The stars of our show, and America's "shiekest" couple,
Eddie Sparks and Dixie Leonard!"
[J] I remember you.
[B] I'd like to say that you're in my dreams.
[J] You're the one who made my dreams come true
[B] You're usually dead,
[J] a few
[B] without a head,
[J] kisses ago.
[B] and lots of natives are picking their teeth with your bones.
[J] I remember, too,
[B] Oh, what a dream!
[J] a distant bell,
[B] It comes at night and taunts me,
[J] and stars that fell
[B] and, like your jokes, it haunts me until
[J] like rain out of the blue.
[B] I'm blue as your face as the last breath leaves you.
[J] When my life is through,
[B] I'll jump for joy.
[J] and the angels ask me to recall
[B] and when Winchell asks me to recall
Who's a chump and a heel.
[J] the thrill of it all,
[B] Who's the biggest schlemeil?
[Both] Then I will tell them I remember . . .
[J] "So, uh, it's my birthday comin' up."
[B] "Yeah, I know, Eddie."
[J] "But, what do you give a guy that's got everything?"
[B] "Uh, penicillin?"
[J] "Hmmm, hey Dix? You ever been married?"
[B] "Oh, yeah, Eddie, twice!"
[J] "Children?"
[B] "No, silly! Grown men!
Tell me, Eddie, what's the most romantic thing a woman ever said to you?"
[J] "Are you sure you're not a cop?"
Then I will tell them I remember . . . you.
[B] You
[J] and you.
