Rhythm on the River Page #5

I haven't.

What are you doing here?

Remember that tune

you were working on?

I've been playing it.

I had a feeling you may have

forgotten it as usual,

so I wrote it down.

You wrote it down?

Oh, you mean the, uh--

Oh, the middle!

How perfectly wonderful.

Mr. Starbuck, Miss Lane.

Miss Lane,

Mr. Starbuck.

How do you do?

Mr. Starbuck does

all my thinking for me.

It's only

a part-time job.

He's such a genius that his

own music goes in one ear

and stays there.

He's like all the great

composers. Brahms used

to set fre to his beard.

Never mind about Brahms.

Get on with Courtney.

d d [ Piano ]

Do you mean to say

you've had it all the time?

I don't know.

It's in my head somewhere

and I'd just forgotten it.

It's never happened to me.

With all that babbling,

I might forget it.

Couldn't you play it one

or two times and give me

a chance to think?

Mr. Starbuck,

would you mind?

I have only one

other line to write.

Starbuck, shut up, please.

I was only thinking

of your next song.

Thank you.

There. I think

I've got it.

Could we go over it again

please?

d The lighthearted gay

kind of charm you display d

d That's for me d

d The wonderful sly little trick

with your eye d

d That's for me d

d What a feather in my hat

if I could gratify your wish d

d Do you like the movies d

d Or what is

your favorite dish d

Good.

d The tilt of your chin

when you chuckle or grin d

d That's for me d

d You might as well know

that wherever you go d

d There'll I'll be d

djust make sure you keep

your heart alone

and fancy-free d

Nice.

d No one else

can have it d

d That's for me d

That's it!

That's easily the best song

you've ever written.

[ Together]

Thanks!

Um, that's enough.

Thank you, Starbuck.

Thank you so much,

Mr. Starbuck, for your

lovely accompaniment.

I'd love to

accompany you further.

That's far enough. Good night.

Thank you,

little white father.

All kidding aside,

that's a swell lyric.

Thanks.

Now, let's see.

Where did you learn

to sing?

In Tulsa.

I'm beginning to admire Tulsa

more every minute.

We ought to go a long way

together, Miss Lane.

I hope so too.

Patsy! Patsy,
