Riley! Riley with Wedgie Bembix as Riley! And now, the lights of Riley.
Well, last week, war worker Riley signed an agreement with a crooked, unlicensed writing agent named Julius Hogan. Riley thought Hogan was going to find a family, a vacation house at the beach. Actually, the paper gave the unscrupulous Hogan the right to lease the house the Riley's live in. With housing conditions as they are, one's been locked in his wife
and baby move right in and insisted that the Riley move out. Riley had nowhere to take his brood, so right now the small house is buzzing with two families. It's early the next morning. Well, hey, Bob, what are you doing out here in the garage?
This here ain't no garage, no more children. This here is your old man's footwork. You mean you slept here in the garage? Yes, right here on this rear seat while the finish sneaked out of his head's car.
That wall brochure is a swell neighbor for a neighbor Those lars and sure turn the house copy dirty Cementia baby slept in my room bad for your mother's but in your room you slept in up of what we've room What we slept in the hammock on the back porch and I had a sleep in this smelly garage
Leave me. I'm glad I ain't no car. Oh Oh, couldn't you find a place to sleep in the house? Well, I tried the kitchen, but the icebox was too cold, the stove was too hot, and the sink was too wet.
You want to get after that crook-hogan again? Don't worry, I'm going to have a showdown with him, even if he does weigh 200 pounds. Either he finds us a beach house like he promised, or else.
