I think I know

how you feel.

The same thing

happened to me when

Cherry and I split up.

I'm so sorry.

I... I understand too.

[ Whispering ]

Why don't we forget

the whole thing?

After all,

it's only a song.

Tell 'em to go ahead

and play it.

Ah, Bob!

Thanks.

And she would've

thanked you too

if she'd lived.

Who, if she had lived?

Why, Mr. Courtney

was just telling us

about a lady in his life.

A lady?

The one who died.

She didn't die.

She got fat.

Oh!

Why dream that up again?

You know she married a rich

spaghetti man and she swelled.

Starbuck!

She outflanked

everybody.

Well, you big,

triple-distilled ham bone!

That's the fnish!

I'm through catching

around here.

Bob?

Either you tell 'em

who wrote the song

or I'll tell 'em.

Which one of us

is gonna expose you?

Here's your chance to be

the man I thought you were.

Don't take that chance!

Shut up,

Starbuck!

Miss Lane, please!

All right.

I know when

I'm licked.

I wonder.

This oughta be

very confusing!

[ Squeaky Voice ]

Speaking of

Kelso's Cucumber Cream,

many engineers recommend it

as a motor lubricant

for your car...

when your engine refuses

to start on those--

And now, here at last,

is Mr. Oliver Courtney.

I don't know.

What do you think?

Let's see what he says.

Ladies and gentlemen,

you have always received

my songs with enthusiasm.

I've taken advantage

of that to present to you...

a new song entitled

''Only Forever.''

Which...

I did not write.

Oh, Bob.

This song was written by

a couple of youngsters...

who in the past year

have, uh...

have shown me

great promise.

Such promise that I'm having

them collaborate with me

on my new show.

He'd take a bow

at his own funeral.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I give you Cherry Lane

and Bob Summers.

Bob, come on.

Not me.

He means you.

Go ahead!

You asked for it.

Oh, you!

Hold that music.

Folks, we're as surprised

at this as you are.

I don't know what to say

except...

I might mention that my uncle

has a little place at Tarrytown

called Nobody's Inn.

He can't

do that.

Oh, yes he can.

In a couple weeks, you'll have

the chance of congratulating

a newly wedded couple.

Mr. Kelso's not

gonna like this.

Go up there.

It has hot and cold

running water.

''Peace...It's wonderful!''
