Swell. Come around Friday.

Say, listen...

What's this? I thought you quit!

- Everything's off.

- It's on.

Here's your customer.

Got him on the way out. Hold onto him.

Keep him here

if you have to tie an anchor to him.

I'll see you later.

- What about that accounting mistake?

- Mistake, your Aunt Fannie.

- We're giving you a new deal.

- Yeah, and I'm the dealer.

Mr. Kent.

- Do you like to look at funny pictures?

- What do you mean?

I hope it looks as good as it sounds.

Well, well, just folks.

Don't mind us.

We just dropped in for a laugh.

- This is all a mistake.

- Right, sister, and you're it.

I was just showing Miss Rich

what you can't do in Kalamazoo.

You won't need that lawyer.

Your breach of promise suit

is right in the ash can.

And you're my witness.

I certainly have a genius

for picking dames to fall for.

- You said it, papa.

- Maybe you better help me next time.

What do you think I've been doing?

Mr. Kent, seeing all these girls

gives me a lot of ideas.

- And don't let them keep you awake.

- No.

Look, suppose I quit my job

and work for you?

Wait till Saturday.

I may be working for you.

Hold it! That's where your song comes in!

- How's Barrington?

- I'm a little worried.

Only a little worried? He must be colossal.

He is, but maybe he'll improve.

Well, you can start worrying

all over again.

All the stuff you've done

in this prologue is out.

Here's the new stuff

and it goes on tonight.

No. No. This is the straw

that breaks the camel's back.

Mr. Kent, I cannot and I will not

try the impossible.

Come on, baby, wind yourself up.

After all, I'm only a human being.

I'm not a superman.

And even if I were, it couldn't be done.

Mr. Kent, I resign.

I accept. You're through.

You accept?

Do you realize

that leaves me without a job?

And after I've worked myself

to the bone for you?

Come on, kids.

I'm putting this prologue on myself.

Line up. You're through.

All right kids, come on.

Come on, girls. Hurry, girls!

Hurry, please!

The bus leaves in 10 minutes.

Will you hurry?

Come on, girls, hurry up! Step it up!

I ate my dinner too fast. I got indigestion.

Come on!

In here! In here!

Here, girls. Take it away!

How am I to say what I want to say

In the proper way, my dear?

I'm not a gallant cavalier

But I'm sincere

So I'm gonna say what I have to say

In the language of the day

You may have heard it all before

But here it goes once more

How about a little celebration

To the jingle of a wedding bell?

How about a little reservation

At the Honeymoon Hotel?

Honeymooning's gonna be my hobby

Don't you think a honeymoon is swell?

Wait until we walk into the lobby

Of the Honeymoon Hotel

Cupid is the night clerk

'Neath the stars above

He just loves his night work

We just love to love

Oh, I'm a mister looking for a missus

As a missus, you'll do very well

Bring along your things and all your kisses

To the Honeymoon Hotel

I'm the man in charge of transportation

I will see that everything goes well

I'm the clerk in charge of registration

At the Honeymoon Hotel

I'm the boy who carries up a seidel

Anytime you push a little bell

Bridal suites are never very idle

At the Honeymoon Hotel

We're the house detectives

But we're puzzled with

The fact that no one stops here

Unless their name is Smith

I'm the girl in charge of conversation

I hear things I wouldn't dare to tell

I'm the captain of the conversation

At the Honeymoon Hotel

Paging Mr. Smith, Mr. Smith.

Aren't you glad to see

your dear old mother?

Tell me why you didn't let us know?

No, they didn't notify us, Mother

But they will

when they need dough, oh, yes

Aunt Matilda has a present for you

It will come in handy, you can bet

We got that just 20 years before you

But it ain't been used as yet

Congratulations, sister

All your clouds have passed

Congratulations, Father

She's off your hands at last

Of course you know

that all of you are welcome

I'm so glad to see you I could cry

It's a lot of hooey that we're welcome

We'll be seeing you, goodbye

Goodbye

I've been notified there's a little bride

All alone in number two

I think we ought to see her through

I will

Me, too

We've been here a week

When you're here a week

then you're qualified to speak

Let's tell her what it's all about

My dear, will you come out?

Oh, I'm glad it's you. I feel so nervous

I don't know my husband very well

Husbands are a feature of the service

At the Honeymoon Hotel

Gee, I'm sorry that I ever, ever

Left my little home in New Rochelle

Wait a while, you'll want to stay forever

At the Honeymoon Hotel

Girls, you'll have to scatter

We don't see why we should

You're in Jersey City

And not in Hollywood

We've got to be in bed before 11.:00

Naturally, we think that's very swell

'Cause every little bridal suite is heaven

At the Honeymoon Hotel

Kiss your little honey-boy good night, girl

Now we're married, dear, and here we are

I've the right to be beside the right girl

But you're in the wrong boudoir

Oh, honey!

Don't you dare to lie to me, I caught you

But darling

Getting friendly with that blonde gazelle

Please don't make me sorry

that I brought you

To the Honeymoon Hotel

In the morning I'll see my attorney

I will have my little tale to tell

And for this I took you on this journey

To the Honeymoon Hotel

Who was that blond woman

Making eyes at you?

I don't know that woman

I cross my heart it's true

If I hurt your feelings I regret it

Won't you please forgive your little Nell?

Let's put out the lights and just forget it

Got gas pains.

Come on, let's go.

Come on. Come on, girls.

Hurry up. Come on, girls.

Well, if this doesn't get him, nothing will.

I appreciate the simple things

'Cause I'm awfully fond of getting

Love in a natural setting

This is what I call the simple things

Just a winding stream

Where I can drift and dream

And when I'm waiting

For you

By a waterfall

I'm calling you

Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

We can share it all

Beneath a ceiling of blue

We'll spend a heavenly day

Here where the whispering waters play

There's a whippoorwill that's calling

You-hoo-hoo-hoo

By a waterfall

He's dreaming, too

There's a magic melody

Mother Nature sings to me

Beside a waterfall

With you

By a waterfall

I'm calling you-hoo-hoo-hoo

Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

We can share it all

Beneath a ceiling of blue

Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

We'll spend a heavenly day

Here where the whispering waters play

Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

There's a whippoorwill that's calling

You-hoo-hoo-hoo

By a waterfall he's dreaming, too

There's a magic melody

Mother Nature sings to me

Beside a waterfall with you

By a waterfall

I'm calling you-hoo-hoo-hoo

We can share it all

Beneath a ceiling of blue

We'll spend a heavenly day

Here where the whispering waters play

Beneath the willow there's a whippoorwill

That's calling you-hoo-hoo-hoo

By a waterfall he's dreaming, too

There's a magic melody

Mother Nature sings to me

Beside a waterfall with you
