But everyone will have to help.

Okay, Smitty, we're with you.

Oh, wonderful.

Girls, big news. Steve Elliott's here.

Steve Elliott?

You're kidding. The man who wrote

"Boogie Woogie Sugie"?

And "Beat Me Daddy,

With a Boogie Brush"?

And "Dig Me Sister,

With a Solid Spade"?

Well, what are we waiting for?

Let's go.

"I have lost my pen in the garden

of my aunt?"

Hello.

"I have lost my pen in the garden

of my aunt in the Casbah."

I thought you would like to know.

What makes you think

I'd be interested?

Well, you should be.

She's your aunt too.

Oh, look, Caroline, why don't you let me

come over and talk to you?

I'm sorry, Mr. Elliott, you'll have to wait

until the last Sunday in October.

If you're still here.

That's when I hold my annual reception

for new students. Good night.

Well, look, l...

Hello?

Hello?

Relax, Stevey, this isn't French,

it's music.

Professor Hendricks won't be here

for 10 minutes. We set his clock back.

Oh, good.

His music sets me back about 10 years.

I must have taken a little catnap.

Catnap, my eye. You weren't purring,

you were snoring.

Don't men look silly

when they're waking up?

Don't men look silly?

I can imagine what you look like

when you wake up.

What do you mean?

Do you realize what girls go through

to make themselves beautiful?

How they look when they first get up?

Look, I'll show you.

Now, the chair will be the bed. See?

Here's an imaginary dresser

with the mirror and the makeup.

The mirror and the makeup

are important.

I'll take the part of the girl, see?

Now, you give me something to wake

me up like they do early in the morning.

Cheese it, here comes Piccolo Pete.

And now we come to the folk song,

or traditional type of melody.

A perfect example of this school

is the old Scotch ballad, "Loch Lomond."

You may illustrate, Miss Smith.

And no embellishments, please.

By yon bonnie banks

And by yon bonnie braes

Where the sun shines bright

On Loch Lomond

Oh, we too have passed

So many blithesome days

On the bonnie, bonnie banks

Of Loch Lomond

Oh, you take the high road

And I'll take the low road

And I'll be in Scotland afore ye

But I and my true love

Will never meet again

Are we keeping you awake,

Mr. Elliott?

Barely.

I suppose you think you could improve

upon the melody, Mr. Elliott?

Oh, he has, many times.

Oh, indeed.

I shall give him another opportunity.

Thank you, sir.

You'll bring a sample

of your improvement tomorrow.

At which time,

I shall turn the class over to you.

- Tomorrow?

- Yes.

That's rather quick notice,

isn't it, professor?

Tomorrow, huh?

May I bring my own accompanist?

Oh, you may bring anyone you like.
