On the Town Page #7

"As the adding machine once said:

"'You can count on me'

"If you committed murder

And got caught like a dope

"And had to hang until your life was done

"I'd holler:
'Go no further

Boys, fetch another rope

"'I'm hangin' with him

I'll stick to you, son'

"Yeah!

"I'll stick to you, son

"I'll always be beside you

"I'll stick to you, son

"We'll go through life together

"As the fly paper told the fly:

"'I'll stick to you, son'

"Yeah!

"Stick to you

"Stick to you

"Stick to you

"Stick to you

"I'll stick to you

"Oh, if you miss your mother

A million miles from home

"Think of how you once clung to her knee

"Your mother's knee

"Although there is no other

On land or sea or foam

"When you're in town, kid,

you can cling to me

"Cling to me

"Cling to me

"Cling to me

"Cling to me

"You can cling to me

"If through a lot of foolery

You lost your last red cent

"I wouldn't even stop to ask you why

"To ask you why

"I'd pawn my mother's jewelry

I'd steal my sister's rent

"It's all for you, kid, you can milk me dry

"You can milk me dry

"You can milk me dry

"As the cow to the farmer said:

"'You can milk me dry'

"If on an island

We two were cast astray

"I'd make it into paradise, indeed

"If rescue came

you'd only shriek at them 'Go away! '

"Because you'd find that I am all you need

"I am all you need

"I am all you need

"As the dough told the pastry cook:

"'I am all you knead'

"I am all you need

"I am all you need

"As the dough told the pastry cook:

"'I am all you knead'

"You can count on me

"Feel free to count on me

"You can count on me

"I mean to count on me

"As the adding machine once said:

"'You can count on me'

"Two, four, six, eight

Who do we appreciate?

"You can count on me!"

This is where I live.

It was very nice of you to take me home.

That's all right, Lucy. And thanks.

Would you like to come up for a minute?

No, I guess not.

The others are waiting for me.

Besides, I'm not

very good company tonight.

I guess I showed you a pretty dull time.

Oh, no! I had a marvelous time.

At last I have something

to write in my diary.

I've been using it for laundry lists.

No, really, I'm sorry about tonight, Lucy.

You know, somewhere in the world

there's a right girl for every boy.

I guess I found the one for me

before I even met you.

I tried, but I can't forget her.

But don't you worry.

You'll find your guy.

You're a nice girl, Lucy.

Goodnight.

Oh, you bad boy.

Now, I won't wash my cheek for a year.

Goodnight.

"A Day In New York.

"A comedy in three acts."

Hey, Gabe!

Hello, Chip.

I got kind of worried

that you wouldn't come back.

Thanks, Chip. I'm okay.

I know how tough you're takin' this, Gabe.

I know you know. That's why I love you.

Come on.

When I danced in Imperial Palace

before Czar, he wept...

...tears streaming on floor.

I had to do next number in galoshes.

- Madame Dilyovska.

- Yes, what is it?

Miss Smith's young friend.

- Where is she?

- Who?

Ivy Smith. She had to go to a big society

party. Maybe you know where she is.

Big society party! This party is at

Coney Island, the playground of the rich.

- Coney Island!

- Yes, at Tilyou Avenue and the Boardwalk.

I know where she is.

- What's she doing there?

- I don't know.

Let's go.

I know the shortest way out.

We'll be there in no time.

- Lf I don't get my cab back...

- Look! That's them!

That's the cab.

Hey, you, stop!

Hey, fellows...

...where's the fire?

We're the fire! Hey, it's them!

They're after us!

- Who?

- The cops!

- Hildy, step on it.

- Okay.

Hildy, they're catching up with us.

I can see their faces.

It's no fun for them, either.

They can see yours.

Do you think we can lose them?

I know a place across the Brooklyn Bridge

where no one'll find us.

- What is it?

- Brooklyn.

Get up there. You can see better.

Are they close?

Any closer and we'd be chasin' them.

- You better go faster.

- Hurry.

- Give her the gun.

- Hold on.

All police cars in the vicinity. Coming off

the east end of Brooklyn Bridge.

- Heading east.

- Okay. Let's go.

We just picked up another one!

- I bet we're losing 'em.

- They're multiplying like schmos.

Pull into that fruit stand!

I wonder who's minding the police station?

This is Tilyou Avenue and the Boardwalk.

I wonder what she could be doing here.

- Doesn't look like a society party to me.

- Shut up, Chip.

Inside we feature Princess Yvette...

...the girl who picks up the handkerchief

with her teeth.

Ivy!

Gabey!

All right, step up. Step up, folks.

Ivy!

Keep away from me! Keep away from me!

Now you know everything.

Here I am, Miss Turnstiles,

the famous celebrity.

This is my big society party.

Why are you here?

You're not in the blue book.

Why did you leave me?

I thought I'd never see you again!

I had to come to work. I work here.

That's what I do.

I'm a kootch dancer.

I have to work because...

...I owe Madame Dilyovska money

for my lessons, and I have to pay her.

Excuse me, I have to go on now.

Ivy, I don't care about any of that.

I don't care what you do.

All I care about is

that I've found you again.

Ivy, I thought I'd lost you forever.

Why did you run away?

Because I couldn't tell you about this.

I lied to you so much.

Did you think that would have made

any difference?

And Madame Dilyovska threatened...

...to write what I was doing

to my parents in Meadowville.

Meadowville?

Meadowville, Indiana?

Yes, I'm from there, and I had Miss Hodges

for American history, too.

Holy smoke!

Did you hear? She's from Meadowville!

- No!

- That explains everything.

- The cops!

- Ivy. You're on.

- Where am I gonna hide?

- Where have I heard that before?

Come on. We'll comb the joint.

You girls see any sailors back here?

Sailors? Who'd notice a sailor

with you around?

- Hey, you're pretty cute.

- So are you.

Get out there. Make with the wiggles.

We gotta sell some tickets.

Come on. Follow me.

Dance, dance, dance.

Come on. This way.

Sing.

"Pearl of the Persian Sea,

"When will you come to me?

"Across the desert sands

"I wait with outstretched hands

"Pearl, pearl of ecstasy"

Wait for me!

They're all yours.

I'm taking you girls to night court.

The rest of you stay here for questioning.

Where are the boys?

The Shore Patrol took 'em back to the ship.

- But they didn't do anything.

- You can't do that.

- We haven't even said goodbye to them.

- Little one, don't get upset.

Just a minute. We got a right to know

what the charges are.

- You want to know what the charges are?

- Yeah.

Well, first of all, speeding...

...stealing a taxicab, destroying a dinosaur.

In general, disturbing the peace

of our fair city.

For that, you separate three sailors

and their girls...

...without allowing them a goodbye kiss?

For that, you throw three kids

on a one-day pass in the brig? Speeding.

Ivy, tell them why we were speeding.

Well, Gabey thought he'd never

see me again.

There, there.

And your dinosaur.
