You know, I've been watching you from the wings,
and what did I tell you?
I know that you go very far,
why, you could really be a star
If you'll just put yourself in my hands
What's the matter, Soph?
What's the matter?
Girls, you've been wonderful,
but you must be very tired
Just a minute, you may leave now,
you may leave now
But Soph! You may leave
Soph,
Soph, tell me, son, what's the idea?
Well, Jimmy Durante, I'm tired of you flaunting these
beautiful girls in front of my face.
I've watched you all
during rehearsals
and I'm just tired of it,
that's all.
Well, I didn't think you cared.
Well, now you know it.
I've tried to keep it a
secret for years.
I'm sorry. But don't be sorry.
I feel the same way about you.
Now the first time I went out with Lana,
boy, it was kicks.
And how Rita melted
when she saw my bag of tricks.
You all know about Margaret Truman,
Swanson,
and the rest.
They tried to break my heart,
but they wound up second best.
Why, the Marquis de Pillsbury
tried to get me in his clutches.
I'm glad I play the field,
for now I'd be some duke's
old duchess.
You know, if you travel long
enough on any road,
you'll find it's true that some
where it has an ending.
And Jimmy, my trail ends with you.
Why, you and me, yes I agree
Would you give up that millionaire oil man
If I told you that you could have me?
If you're really sincere,
oh my darling, my dear
I'm as ready as I'll ever be,
only could not
What about these cover girls
that you have around you?
Are you gonna get rid of
them immediately?
Say the word and you know
all the others must go
Cause I'm as ready as I'll ever be
When the loves of the century
are written
Jimmy, our names will be on top
Ah, come here Sophie, please
Ah, don't tease
Oh, Jimmy, after all these years
It's the first time you've ever kissed me
I wanted you to know
that you haven't lived in vain
Call Niagara and make reservations
Why, you're gorgeous,
you're so heavenly
I love you, Jimmy D
I love you, Sophie T
We're as ready as we'll ever be
An d I'm the last of the
Red Hot Mamas
Yeah! And I'm the daddy
who will cool you down
Now, if you mean it,
what are you gonna do about it?
Well, what am I gonna do about it?
We'll form a merger.
Yes, instead of a courtroom,
right?
We'll use the Club Durant
wonderful
and instead of a judge
Well, mr. Eddie Jackson
Oh
No longer sings the blues
Will you love him when he's worn out
all his dancing shoes?
I love that man when he's down to
his lowest trombone
And maybe,
maybe we'll have a swing band all our own
And from now on at the Cover Girls
I'll never wink
I'll cherish you till you're just
out your last wink
And forever and forever
we will keep our love alive
May my mouth pronounce you
Mr. and Mrs. Jive
Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Jive
Mr. and Mrs. Jive
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson!
What's the matter?
We haven't gone on our honeymoon yet,
and he's taken over the show!
That does it, that does it.
Come on,
let's get on with the celebration!
Yeah!
Send us presents immediately!
We're going steady!
Thank you, Eddie!
We're ready, Eddie!
And we'll never be!
Congratulations, there is ready
and there will be! you.
