ZIEGFELD GIRL
S--It's Mister Gallagher! It's Mister Gallagher!
G--As I live, why it's my old pal Mister Shean.
How long have you been here?
S--I've been over here a year.
It's the strangest country that I've ever seen.
G--Oh Mister Shean, Oh Mister Shean
Over here, why we can both live European.
Ride around on camels' backs,
And we'll pay no income tax.
S--Positively, Mister Gallagher?
G--Absolutely, Mister Shean?
This verse is followed by the "lady and rowboat" verse, then continues with:
(Chorus girl enters, Shean follows her)
S--Oh Mister Gallagher, Oh Mister Gallagher,
At the Follies you can see some wondrous sights.
(to chorus girl) Are you the redhead on the end?
I'd like to be your friend.
How about a little date with me tonight? (chorus girl gives S a disgusted look and exits)
G--Oh, Mister Shean, Oh Mister Shean,
Why, you haven't got a look in with that queen.
S--Why not?
G--She has millionaires untold
Who have lavished her with gold.
S--To keep her friendship, Mister Gallagher?
G--To keep her mouth shut, Mister Shean.
S--Oh Mister Gallagher, Oh Mister Gallagher,
Today I paid a visit to a gallery.
Of all the statues that they show,
I think Venus De Milo
Is the greatest in all Greek mythology.
G--Oh Mister Shean, Oh Mister Shean,
For De Milo's Venus I'm not very keen.
S--Why not?
G--For the thing that spoils her charms
Are the pair of broken arms.
S--I didn't see them, Mister Gallagher.
G--Where were you looking, Mister Shean?
