<font size="1"><b>(feat. James Cann)
<i>[Announcer:] "The stars of our show, and America's "shiekest" couple,
Eddie Sparks and Dixie Leonard!"
<i>[J:] I remember you.
<i>[B:] I'd like to say that you're in my dreams.
<i>[J:] You're the one who made my dreams come true
<i>[B:] You're usually dead,
<i>[J:] a few
<i>[B:] without a head,
<i>[J:] kisses ago.
<i>[B:] and lots of natives are picking their teeth with your bones.
<i>[J:] I remember, too,
<i>[B:] Oh, what a dream!
<i>[J:] a distant bell,
<i>[B:] It comes at night and taunts me,
<i>[J:] and stars that fell
<i>[B:] and, like your jokes, it haunts me until
<i>[J:] like rain out of the blue.
<i>[B:] I'm blue as your face as the last breath leaves you.
<i>[J:] When my life is through,
<i>[B:] I'll jump for joy.
<i>[J:] and the angels ask me to recall
<i>[B:] and when Winchell asks me to recall
who's a chump and a heel.
<i>[J:] the thrill of it all,
<i>[B:] Who's the biggest schlemeil?
<i>[Both:] Then I will tell them I remember . . .
<i>[J:] "So, uh, it's my birthday comin' up."
<i>[B:] "Yeah, I know, Eddie."
<i>[J:] "But, what do you give a guy that's got everything?"
<i>[B:] "Uh, penicillin?"
<i>[J:] "Hmmm, hey Dix? You ever been married?"
<i>[B:] "Oh, yeah, Eddie, twice!"
<i>[J:] "Children?"
<i>[B:] "No, silly! Grown men!
Tell me, Eddie, what's the most romantic thing a woman ever said to you?"
<i>[J:] "Are you sure you're not a cop?"
Then I will tell them I remember . . . you.
<i>[B:] You
<i>[J:] and you.
