My Friend Irma Goes West Page #2

to sing with Mr. Laird.

That's unfortunate, but I still want you

to meet our Star of Tomorrow...

a former orange juice salesman, Steve Laird.

- Well, it's a pleasure.

- How do you do, Miss Yvonne?

On second thought, my doctor told me...

the more I use my voice,

the quicker the hoarseness will go away.

I would be more than delighted

to sing with Mr. Laird.

From the boulevards of Paris

to the corners of Siam

Lovers know they must behave

The very way that I am

Regardless of the language

or the customs of the land

They all have

the very same demand

When I say give me love

Don't be meager, Gee

can't you see I'm overeager

Oh baby, oh baby, obey me

And when my lonely arms need a build-up

Get in my arms and keep 'em filled up

Oh baby, oh baby, obey me

Facts are facts

While I'm mad about your caress

So relax

there's only one word for yes

My love just lives for you

Why be lonely

I want you for my one and only

Oh baby, oh baby, obey me do

I'll take you through Paris, be your dolly

Oh what I'll show you in Pigalle

Oh baby, hey baby, obey me

I never like to kiss

like the highbrows

I want the kind that curls my eyebrows

Oh-ho, like this

Oh, baby

You will be

my gift from the Marshall Plan

And I will be

The king of the French Can-Can

My sweet, when I do this don't be gentle

I want you close and continental

Oh, baby...

I don't know what she's saying,

but it should happen to me

Crpe Suzettes

Why, that's all the French I know

No, my pet

You'll learn every word, but "Noi"

The French are never wrong

Fifty million

Baby for you I'd trust a billion

Oh baby, oh baby, obey me

No maybe, hey baby, you slay me

Oh baby, obey me, do

That was wonderful, Yvonne.

It was a real pleasure

having you on our program.

Well, thank you.

It was a joy to work with

such young talent as Mr. Laird.

And as we French so often do...

I would like to say "au revoir,"

and wish you luck.

Don't be upset, Jane.

That's just the French way of shaking hands.

It's like when the Germans are leaving,

and they say "gesundheit."

And now, young man, what have you

chosen for your solo number?

I'd like to do my version

ofThe Vagabond Song.

- Harry, do you know that?

- Yes, I do.

- What key?

- Hey, wait a minute.

He's my partner and he's got

a special arrangement of this song...

and I'm the only one

who knows how it goes.

I'll take that.

- What are you gonna do?

- I'm gonna lead the band.

You know anything about leading a band?

Do I know about leading a band?

I just took the stick from him.

I'm gonna lead the band...

and you have the nerve to ask me

do I know anything about it.

- Well, do you?

- No.
