Transcript

You're invited to drop in where the elite meet to eat. Duffy's Tavern. Hello Duffy's Tavern, where the elite meet to eat. Archie the manager's speaking. Duffy ain't here. Hello Duffy. Tonight's Carol Landis, the Clevacious Cookie from Hollywood.

Clevacious. What's the difference? What it means? It looks great. Ah, she's a beautiful name, Duffy. And she got what? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Also a very high forward. What? Mrs. Duffy had a shape like that when you married it?

Here, but since then her figure's been a total loss. Huh? Well, naturally everything going out and nothing coming in. Huh? Well, for a job here, Duffy is a ruinous. Well with calves like hers around who's gonna want a pig's feet?

I'll call you back, Duffy, so long. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Duffy's Tavern. Commander meet Venigan, Eddie the waiter, Miss Duffy, Joe Vannudianis Orchestra, our special guest tonight, Carol Landes, and Archie himself, Ed Gardner.

Let's see now. Leave us spoon, need the moon, dammit, slandice. Send the thoughts, wait a minute, Eddie, you're making me lose my muse. In your case, no muse is good muse. Oh yeah, well listen to this poem that I'm writing in Carol Landis' Behoof.

Leave us spoon, need the moon, dammit, slandice. While I whisper how dainty your hand is. Joe Cupid has got me over a barrel, but I'll wait for you till Christmas Carol. What do you think of it, Eddie?

What do you think I think of it? That's a nasty thing to say. After all, I just dashed the thing off you. Could Shakespeare do better? Even right now he could. Man, I suppose poetry means you fall in love again.
