Mary!

Hey!

Oh, take care of this, will you, kid, and

l'll see you in the dressing room. Mary!

Six dollars, buster.

Oh, that's very reasonable

for such a nice cab.

Now, hold it.

That's the fare, birdbrain.

Now, pay me or

l'll charge you for waiting.

You don't believe in keeping

all your eggs in one basket, do you?

Wait a minute, that's only five.

l said six, didn't l?

- Could l have some back?

- What?

Well, then could l just have a nickel

for carfare or a cup of coffee?

You panhandler.

Hey!

Lover, when l'm near you

And l hear you speak my name

Softly...

Quiet!

Oh, please get out of the way.

Our cue is on.

Lover, when we're dancing

- Quiet.

- Quiet, schmiet.

You try and be quiet.

You try and be quiet,

carrying these bags.

...entrancing music dies

Still mad?

No, how can l stay angry with you?

l'm sorry about last night,

but it's like l told you, honey.

l want to get up there

where you'll be proud of me.

And sometimes l'm in such a hurry,

l just get carried away.

- Oh, come on in, kid.

- l'm sorry, Mr. Miller,

- but if you won't need me anymore...

- Put the big one up there.

Watch that. Easy!

- Yes?

- Five minutes, Mr. Miller.

OK.

Mr. Miller, would you like

me to put this away?

Yeah.

Come on, let's go, Mary.

Come on, kid!

Mr. Miller, l better be getting back.

Mr. Robertson's gonna miss me.

- See that box?

- Yeah.

- You go on up there.

- Oh, to see the show?

Thanks, Mr. Miller.

- For free?

- Yeah. Go right through there.

Good luck, darling.

And good luck to you too.

You're on.

Oh, l'm sorry, lady!

Oh, that's all right.

Ask the sky above

And ask the earth below

Why l'm so in love

And why l love you so

Couldn't tell you though l try, dear

Just why, dear, l'm yours

When you went away

You left a glowing spark

Trying to be gay

ls whistling in the dark

l am only what you make me

Come take me

l'm yours

How happy

l would be to beg and borrow

Or sorrow with you

Even though l knew tomorrow

You'd say we were through

lf we drift apart

Then l'll be lost alone

Though you use my heart

For just a stepping stone

How can l help dreaming of you

l love you

l'm yours

You brought me out for this?

Take it easy, Frank.

Thank you. And now, ladies...

Thank you. All right, all right.

Thank you very much,

ladies and gentlemen.

Now l have a treat for you.

Something you're getting for nothing.

Did you ever hear of a fellow

named Jimmy Lyons?

For your information,

Jimmy Lyons is the fellow

that wrote one of the

greatest hits around today.

A song called ''For You''.

- ls he kidding?

- Give him a chance.

And it just so happens we have

Jimmy Lyons in our audience today.
