# Drink a cup of gypsy luck

# Just tip it up and then

you just say "chesay"

# Swallow once,

then swallow twice

# Goes down so nice

Just say "chesay"

Hey!

# What's in the drink

to chase the devil away?

# Magic, I think

# So just say "chesay"

# Chesay, chesay

brings you good luck night and day

# Chesay, chesay

That's the gypsy way

# Chesay, chesay

brings you good luck night and day

# Chesay, chesay

That's the gypsy way

# Chesay, chesay

brings you good luck night and day

# Chesay, chesay

That's the gypsy way

Chesay!

Have you seen Cully?

He's been missing for an hour.

- Have you tried the Lost and Found?

- No. I'm afraid they'll find him.

I always know where to find Johnny -

In the casino, losing his shirt.

Well, with the way the other girls look at

him, you're lucky he isn't playing around.

Know what I'd do

if he ever did me wrong?

- Shoot yourself?

- No, him!

Bang, bang, bang!

One last request before I cross

the great footlights up yonder.

Like what?

Would you loan me 25 bucks

so I can pay Cully what I owe him?

- Cully loaned you 25? Where'd he get it?

- Between my nightgown and petticoat.

Do you know how much

you owe me already?

Who's counting?

- You sure this money's not for gambling?

- Word of honour.

And may you never kiss me again.

He sounds sincere.

What would you do, Peg?

What any woman with an ounce

of pride or self-respect would do:

Give him the money.

Greatest little bank in America.

- Two greatest little banks in America.

- Shame you don't have an account there.

Five... ten...

...fifteen... twenty... twenty-five.

- That makes us even.

- I didn't think Frankie'd give you a dime.

- What have you got left to play with?

- Oh, I'm broke.

But I got a rich friend who will loan me...

Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five.

- Better count it to be sure it's all there.

- What for? I trust you.

Now all we need is a beautiful redhead.

Nellie! Nellie Bly!

Hello, Blackie.

Hey, you look great!

How did New York treat you?

They didn't believe my billing:

"The Singing Queen of the Riverboats".

- How's the action?

- The boss never had it rollin' in so fast.

Money isn't everything, but it never

made a man look less attractive.

- Put those in my old room, Mac.

- Does Mr Braden know you're back?

No. I want to surprise him.

Is he in his office?

Don't surprise him now. Go in and win a

few bucks till he spruces up for you, huh?

- Who is she?

- Oh, that's not nice.

Has Mr Braden ever cheated on you?

Well, has he?

Still protecting him, aren't you?

Why not? Who baled me out

and got me a job?

And who made a gentleman out of me?

OK, OK. Go ring the fire bell.

Tell Braden I'll meet him in the casino
