Dancing Lady Page #8

I'll be lucky if they let the curtain go up.

They know a hit from a bust.

Oh, Patch, if it's going to be a bust,

let me be there when it happens.

It's too late. We open tomorrow night.

But I know the routines.

Please let me go back in.

Forget about it, Duchess. It can't be done.

Life's too short.

So the great Patch Gallagher's

laying down.

So, life's too short?

So the first opus he's got his own dough in

is a flop!

Well, the wisies on Broadway will say

it wasn't Gallagher, it was Bradley!

- What?

- Without Bradley, Gallagher's a washout!

- What was that Bradley crack?

- That's what they'll say.

They'll put you on the pan and

keep you there till Bradley takes you off!

I've got a notion to...

If that's what it takes

to get you on your feet, go ahead!

- What are you looking for, boss?

- I'm looking for that opening number.

- Here it is.

- Well, all right, put it on!

- How about that Warner dame?

- Put her back where she belongs.

Say, that place has been closed for years.

- Say you know those routines?

- Sure I do.

All right, get out of that back drop

and let's see them.

- Right.

- Right.

- Let's go!

- Right away.

Heigh ho, the gang's all here

So let's have pretzels and let's have beer

Heigh ho, it's time to start

And put some spirit in the party

Oh, boy, the world's all right

We won't be singing the blues tonight

Let's give the grand old cheer

It's all so merry when the gang's all here!

Hail, all hail, put your worries up for sale

Hail, all hail, let the good old days prevail

Heigh ho, the gang's all here

We all have pretzels, we all have beer

Sing loud, the coast is clear

So let's make merry

while the gang's all here

Heigh ho

The gang's all here

So let's have pretzels

Let's have beer

Heigh ho

It's time to start

And put some spirit

In the party!

Oh, boy

The world's all right

We won't be singing

The blues tonight

Let's give

The grand old cheer

It's all so merry

When the gang's all here!

Stand up and sing

We've got the gang together

We always sang together

Stand up and sing

Get in the swing

We've got no time for waiting

It's time for celebrating

Get in the swing

Heigh ho, the gang's all here

So let's have pretzels and let's have beer

Heigh ho, it's time to start

And put some spirit in the party!

Oh, boy, the world's all right

We won't be singing the blues tonight

Let's give the grand old cheer

It's all so merry when the gang's all here!

Hail, all hail, put your worries up for sale

Hail, all hail, let the good old days prevail

Heigh ho, the gang's all here

We all have pretzels, we all have beer

Sing loud, the coast is clear

So let's make merry

while the gang's all here!

So in Bavaria

get yourself a sweet frulein

She can help you drink a stein

of good old beer

So in Bavaria

clink your glasses all around

Make that tinkle, tinkle sound

Spread good cheer!

In Bavaria, we take good care of you

In all this area skies are clear

So in Bavaria

Isn't this a happy scene

Ach, du lieber Augustin, drink your beer!

Let's go Bavarian

Get yourself a sweet frulein

She can help you drink a stein

of good old beer

Let's go Bavarian

Clink your glasses all around

Make that tinkle, tinkle sound

Spread good cheer

Here in Bavaria

they take good care of you

In all this area skies are clear, so

Let's go Bavarian

Isn't this a happy scene?

Ach, du lieber Augustin, drink your beer!

This is just an idle burg

More famous far than Heidelberg

And what's it famous for?

Beer! Beer! Beer!

No one cares for Piper-Heidsieck

Everybody laughs their sides sick

While they yell for more

Beer! Beer! Beer!

Here's a place where skies are never gray

Here's a place to drink your cares away

Let's go Bavarian

Get yourself a sweet frulein

She can help you drink a stein

of good old beer!

- How am I doing?

- So far, so good.

- Say, boss...

- Go change for your next number.

- Yes, sir.

- The customers seem to like it.

- Yeah? Well, we're not through yet.

- Come on, girls, everybody. Come on!

You're old-fashioned, you're pass

Rhythm 's in the air today

Come with me, leave the past

Life today is wild and fast

On your toes, everybody rise

On your toes, open up your eyes

This is the time for plenty of action

Action!

On your toes

Shout it to the skies!

Go, go, go, let her go faster

Faster, faster, follow master

Go, go, go, that's the rhythm of the day

Run, run, run, rhythm is master

Motors turning, wires burning

Run, run, run, that's the rhythm of the day

Even love is electric

Even love has a beat

Here's the only correct trick

Keep at fever heat

Up, up, up

Hitting the skyline

Pulses beating, keep repeating

Go, go, go, that's the rhythm of the day

That's the rhythm of the day

Nice work, Gallagher, old boy. Great show.

- Certainly enjoyed it, Patch.

- It's all right with me though.

Think you've got a hit.

Well, you double-crossed me, Janie.

You're a success.

You were marvelous.

Believe now that dancing

is my racket, Tod?

Well, I'll give in if you will, Janie.

Marry me.

You can still go on with this.

You can have your cake and eat it, too.

Tod, I love to say "can it" and I...

I love shoes with ribbons on them

and I got a perfect passion for zippers.

Well, you can put zippers on your sables,

if you like.

No. I'm afraid "them things"

won't mix with "those things."

- Steve. Steve!

- Yes, boss.

- I was just talking to one of the girls.

- Yeah.

Steve...

tell Joe to dim down

on that Dancing Lady number.

Dim down on Dancing Lady.

Yeah, but to follow Miss Barlow

with an amber spot.

- An amber spot.

- Yeah.

Yeah, an amber spot.

And tomorrow night I'll try a rose spot.

I get it. Miss Barlow.

Top spot, amber spot, rose spot.

Come in, come in.

- Oh, you're busy. Excuse me.

- No, that's all right. Come in.

Oh, and Steve...

during that dramatic bit tell them to

follow Miss Barlow with a blue spot.

- A blue spot?

- Yeah.

- Blue.

- Good night.

- Good night, boss.

- Good night, Duchess.

Night, Steve.

White spot, amber spot, blue spot.

Looks like you're in a spot.

- Sure glad that first night's over.

- Yeah.

I saw your face once in the wings.

Made me feel as if

everything I was doing was wrong.

I guess I got that kind of a face.

You better go home and get some rest.

And don't stay out too late

with your boyfriend.

He's gone.

Yeah. Until tomorrow night.

He's gone for good, Patch.

Say, what is this you're dishing out?

Can't you take it?
