Frank Sinatra transcribed as Rocky Fortune. NBC presents Frank Sinatra, starring as that footloose and fancy-free young gentleman, Rocky Fortune. Do you ever notice how some guys go through life and nothing ever happens?
Not even a ticket for speedin'? Another guy every time he orders a bowl of chowder he finds a live octopus in it. Well, that's the story of my life. You take last week, I was sittin' in a one-armed joint drinkin' black coffee and readin' the one ads.

Pipe you, follow me? I follow you. Good. Follow me. And don't try not to funny her. I'll be forced to take drastic action, which might cause leakage in your radiator and valves. Okay?
