Now boys, I'm going to give you a couple
of tunes from my show,
Early to
Bed.
That fine show on
Broadway that pays my backhouse
dues, you know.
And I can't kid no more, hold everything,
but here's a couple of them from the show.
There's a gal in my life,
and you're slightly less than wonderful.
Look out now, there it is, yeah.
Yeah.
you're only slightly less than wonderful your
body borders on the mirrors I think
I'm on the brink of buying you mink to drag
on the ground or wrap around you
When you slink with in me,
elemental forces surge
Are you al lergic to the
Augie urge?
Must
I, deep regret,
let etiquette guide me as yet
And say to you politely, dear,
you're only slightly less than wonderful
Yes, less than wonderful
It is the gal in my life
Oh, what a half -pint would do right now!
There's a gal in my life,
respons ible for the kind of life I lead.
Yes, she led me on, yes, I was like a big,
sad, sap sucker
She's the talk of my heart
When thoughts of her start
I find myself a -tremble
Like a windblown reed
You know what a reed is?
That's something they play on a saxophone,
very stiff
To one who never met her,
this might seem ex treme
Yet her charm still
makes me lay me down
An d dream every
song in my soul
Each plan in my life has one un attainable goal,
yes, the jackpot, the gal in my life, yes she is.
