You must be Hart.

Ain't you the pretty one.

Thank you , ma'am .

Oh , no, caII me Mama.

I'm here to take care of you .

You'II be habitatin'

down in the east bIock.

Murderess Row, we caII it.

Is that nicer?

I don't think I beIong in here.

I didn't actuaIIy

do anything wrong .

No need to teII me.

I never heard

of a man getting kiIIed

when he didn't get

just what was coming to him .

Hey, Mama!

Come here. Come here.

VeIma KeIIy.

You're the VeIma KeIIy.

I was there the night

that you got arrested .

Yeah .

You and haIf of Chicago.

Look at this, Mama.

An editoriaI denouncing me

in ''Redbook'' magazine.

''Not in memory do we recaII

so fiendish and horribIe

a doubIe homicide.''

You couIdn't buy

that kind of pubIicity.

CouIdn't buy it?

I guess I can keep this, then .

Nice try.

lf you want my gravy

Pepper my ragout

Spice it up for Mama

She'll get hot for you

When they pass that basket

folks contribute to

You put in for Mama

She'll put out for you

The folks atop the ladder

Are the ones

the world adores

So boost me

up my ladder, kid

And l'll boost you up yours

Let's all stroke together

Like the Princeton crew

When you're strokin' Mama

Mama's strokin' you

So what's the one conclusion

l can bring this number to?

When you're good to Mama

Mama's good

To you

Ah , yes!

[ Cheers and appIause ]

RO XIE :
Mama?

It's kind of freezing in here.

You don't think there's

something wrong with the heat?

Not that I'm compIaining ,

mind you , but. . .

if you got a coupIe extra

bIankets tucked away --

Lights out, Iadies.

Okay.

Okay.
