S--It's Mister Gallagher! It's Mister Gallagher!
|
G--As I live, why it's my old pal Mister Shean.
|
How long have you been here?
|
S--I've been over here a year.
|
It's the strangest country that I've ever seen.
|
|
G--Oh Mister Shean, Oh Mister Shean
|
Over here, why we can both live European.
|
Ride around on camels' backs,
|
And we'll pay no income tax.
|
S--Positively, Mister Gallagher?
|
G--Absolutely, Mister Shean?
|
|
This verse is followed by the "lady and rowboat" verse, then continues with:
|
(Chorus girl enters, Shean follows her)
|
S--Oh Mister Gallagher, Oh Mister Gallagher,
|
At the Follies you can see some wondrous sights.
|
(to chorus girl) Are you the redhead on the end?
|
I'd like to be your friend.
|
How about a little date with me tonight? (chorus girl gives S a disgusted look and exits)
|
|
G--Oh, Mister Shean, Oh Mister Shean,
|
Why, you haven't got a look in with that queen.
|
S--Why not?
|
G--She has millionaires untold
|
Who have lavished her with gold.
|
S--To keep her friendship, Mister Gallagher?
|
G--To keep her mouth shut, Mister Shean.
|
|
S--Oh Mister Gallagher, Oh Mister Gallagher,
|
Today I paid a visit to a gallery.
|
Of all the statues that they show,
|
I think Venus De Milo
|
Is the greatest in all Greek mythology.
|
|
G--Oh Mister Shean, Oh Mister Shean,
|
For De Milo's Venus I'm not very keen.
|
S--Why not?
|
G--For the thing that spoils her charms
|
Are the pair of broken arms.
|
S--I didn't see them, Mister Gallagher.
|
G--Where were you looking, Mister Shean?
