Oyster Shucker at the Fifty Fathoms

Frank Sinatra transcribed as Rocky Fortune. Frank Sinatra, who stars as that footlose and frequently unemployed young gentleman, Rocky Fortune. There is about me in employment. We start out together, but sooner or later we reach the fork in the road.

Usually sooner. You take last week. The employment agency sent me out in the job as a oyster shucker. But somebody tried to serve me up on a half shell with a real crazy cocktail sauce.

Blood. Pardon me, is this the 50 pharoms clam house? Yes. Is there something I can do for you? That's the best offer I've had all day. We'll have a table in a minute. Would you care to look at the menu?

What's the menu you got that you haven't got, baby? A price list. If you'll excuse me, I'm busy. Now wait a minute. Don't get so. I work here. I'm the noiscer chucker. I'm Rocky Fortune.

You'd better go around in the kitchen, Mr. Fortune. Just call me Rocky, eh? And I'll call you two or three times a day. Don't bother. Why not? The one thing I've got a boyfriend. Now why would we let a little thing like that come between us?

Maybe because he's standing right behind you. Oops. He isn't exactly standing behind me. It's more like all around me. This joke is six foot four, two hundred pounds on the hoof, and broad enough to go through the middle of a revolving door.

And I can't figure a girl like this with this girl. She's a real sweet little girl like somebody's kid sister. Only she's wearing a knit dress, and she's got a figure that's given a warp and a woofer hard time.
