"Don't mean a thing

If you ain't got that swing

"Don't mean a thing, baby

"Don't mean a thing, my baby

"Don't mean a thing, baby

"Not if you ain't got that swing

"Swing

"Swing"

Sweetheart, I've just seen

little old Chip's drum kit.

Yes?

Does that mean what we think it means?

- He's completed the set?

- We found the keys to the boiler house.

And about time, too.

- You're not going to marry him, are you?

- Why shouldn't she?

Everyone should marry

Patrick at least once.

But I'm not. He was right the first time.

All I wanted was a bit of fun, dearie.

"They call me coquette and mademoiselle

"I must admit I like it quite well

"It's something to be the darling of all

"The grand femme fatale

"The belle of the ball

"There's nothing as gay as life in Paris

"There's no other person

"I'd rather be

"I love what I do

"I love what I see

"But where is the schoolgirl

That used to be me

"The apple trees

"Blossoms in the breeze

"That we walked amongst

"Lying in the hay

"Games we used to play

"While the rounds were sung

"Only yesterday

"When the world was young

"When the world was young"

Betty has started promoting

The Blonde Bombshells again...

...and booked us into every

seaside venue that will take us.

Annie allows herself to play

the devil's music...

...but has given up trying to save

the souls of musicians.

Evelyn has joined a government think tank

on the subject of prison reform.

Madeleine continues to be

slim and beautiful. We hate her for this.

Gwen has made several award-winning

albums of songs so old...

...that most people think they're new.

Dinah gives up drinking on a regular basis,

and has married her man servant.

She now calls herself "Mrs. Brown".

I changed my credit card,

but I realize I can't change Patrick.

He wants to make an honest woman

out of me, but that would spoil everything.

Being a Blonde Bombshell

is still the most fun I've ever had.

So far.

And if you need to hire a band

for your wedding, wake, or bar mitzvah...

...the Blonde Bombshells

are usually available.

Take it away, girlsl
