Vocal:Bette Midler/James Cann

Announcer:'The stars of our show, and America's 'shiekest'
couple, Eddie Sparks and Dixie Leonard!'

James:I remember you.
Bette: I'd like to say that you're in my dreams.
James: You're the one who made my dreams come true
Bette: You're usually dead,
James: a few
Bette: without a head,
James: kisses ago.
Bette: and lots of natives are picking their teeth with your
bones.
James: I remember, too,
Bette: Oh, what a dream!
James: a distant bell,
Bette: It comes at night and taunts me,
James: and stars that fell
Bette: and, like your jokes, it haunts me until
James: like rain out of the blue.
Bette: I'm blue as your face as the last breath leaves you.
James: When my life is through,
Bette: I'll jump for joy.
James: and the angels ask me to recall
Bette: and when Winchell asks me to recall
who's a chump and a heel.
James: the thrill of it all,
Bette: Who's the biggest schlemeil?
Both: Then I will tell them I remember . . .
James: 'So, uh, it's my birthday comin' up.'
Bette: 'Yeah, I know, Eddie.'
James: 'But, what do you give a guy that's got everything?'
Bette: 'Uh, penicillin?'
James: 'Hmmm, hey Dix? You ever been married?'
Bette: 'Oh, yeah, Eddie, twice!'
James: 'Children?'
Bette: 'No, silly! Grown men! Tell me, Eddie, what's the most
romantic thing a woman ever said to you?'
James: 'Are you sure you're not a cop?'
Then I will tell them I remember . . . you.
Bette: You
James: and you.
