like champagne

You excite me

And there is nothing

I can do

When you appear

I hear a cheer

Like thunder in the blue

When we dispeI we

I fear to stay

and hate to leave

You excite me

You lead me on

and I pursue

The dye is cast

It's too fantastic

Yet it's true

Am I right?

Am I exciting you?

You excite me

You lead me on

and I pursue

The dye is cast

It's too fantastic

Yet it's true

Am I right?

Am I exciting you?

Bert, cut your finale short.

Here they come again.

Well, can I help it

if they're early?

Ladies and gentlemen, there's

a shelter under the stage.

Just pass through the doors at

each side of the theater. Thank you.

This way, gentlemen.

Come on, boys.

We've been invited to stay.

How do you do, Mrs. Good?

Straight ahead.

Right turn down there. Right

on down to the basement, folks.

No, sir. This way, sir.

Right on down, sir.

This way. Right turn, right

on down to the basement.

Move along now, folks.

I wish I had my makeup off

and was home in bed.

Well, wishing

won't get you there.

Nor you either, chum.

I haven't slept a wink for nights.

Oh, neither have I.

I'm exhausted.

Last night, the man next

to me snored for hours.

I'll never sleep

in the underground again.

Alfred, don't make

so much noise.

Sorry, is that yours?

You mean to say you've never heard

of The Great Waldo and his xylophone?

Can't say I have.

That's me.

Twenty years ago.

And this is my xylophone.

We were a great act.

Evidently.

A great act.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

Scared?

Naturally.

So am I.

Well, that's

not very comforting.

That's like

having a lifeguard say

he's afraid of the water.

Oh, I don't mean this.

I mean you.

You did a little

bombing tonight yourself,

you know.

That dance you did.

In fact, you bombed

from a very low altitude.

It was not only unfair,

it was practically illegal.

Well, I'm sorry.

You should be.

I hope I didn't

hit anything vital.

You knocked out

my whole communicating system,

if that's any concern to you.

I think you should

have supper with me

and sort of help put me

together again, don't you?

No.

You don't?

No.

You haven't any conscience

at all, have you?

I have a perfectly

beautiful conscience

but I also have a date.

Yeah, naturally.

But you could switch it.

I've only got tonight

and tomorrow night.

I'm sorry, but I...

Have you ever been

to the 299 Club?

Never.

You'll like it enormously.

I've no doubt

about it, but...

They've got

the hottest band in London,

imported from America.

You are an American,

aren't you?

St. Louis.

Wait till you hear that band

play the St. Louis Blues.

It'll sound like

a letter from home.
