Two blind loves

Babes in the wood

We've got it, oh, so bad

But isn't it good?

We're on a bumpy road, it's true

But heaven is in view

For two blind loves

Two blind loves

Two blind loves

Do we know what we're doing?

Two blind loves

Don't know from appetite

Don't know fish from steak

Don't know if it's a doughnut

Or a wedding cake

I only know the sun started to shine

The day that I looked into your eyes

And you looked into mine

Two blind loves

Babes in the wood

We've got it, oh, so bad

But isn't it good?

We're on a bumpy road, it's true

But heaven is in view

For two blind loves

- Where's your badge?|- Here it is.

Okay, Professor, where's your...|Miss Julie, it's you.

All right to get on the train? I got a badge.

Sure, Jeff. Okay.

Hey, mister. $18.75.

1875. That's what I thought.

The 1940 models run much smoother.

You'll think I'm on a scavenger hunt,|but I'm looking for Antonio Ferrelli.

Mr. Loophole, I'm sure glad to see you.

Tony. You old war-horse.

I haven't seen you|since I stopped taking Scott's Emulsion.

You know, I was afraid|you wasn't going to get here in time.

There, see? Another minute|and you'd miss the train.

But now that you're here|everything will be all right.

This is a big case.|You gonna make lots of money.

- This is your lucky day.|- I'll say it is.

Don't know what the trouble is...

but I'll straighten it out in no time.|See you inside.

Would you hold that train still|while I try to mount it?

I'm sorry. Nobody gets on the train|unless they got the badge.

- Badge?|- The badge, yeah.

You mean my Lone Ranger badge.

Sorry, they took it back.|I stopped eating the cereal.

- Now let me see your badge.|- I just haven't.

You no got the badge?

Quiet. The engineer|may be eavesdropping.

The circus is certainly lucky|to have you for a watchdog...

you old badger, you.

Where are you going?

I'm going to the laundry to get ironed out.|I'm roughdry now.

Hey, come here. I got an idea.

You know my boss Jeff Wilson?|He owns the circus. He'll give you a badge.

Say, that's fast thinking. I'll see him.

He'll give me a badge.|I'll get on the train. Fine.

- Where is Mr. Wilson?|- He's on the train.

On the train?

It was awfully nice of you|floating this case my way.

It's nothing.

If you hadn't sent for me...

I'd probably be home now|in a nice warm bedroom...

in a comfortable bed, with a hot toddy.

- That's a drink.|- That's too bad.

If it was up to me,|I'd let you on the train like that.

But it's not up to me.

No, but it's up to my ankles.

Tadpole, you better get out of the water.|You're gonna get wet.

Nonsense. If I was any drier, I'd drown.

You better get out of the dampness,|my friend.
